Synopsis
Seo Ji-seong, a developer of AI-controlled household appliances at Pelican Electronics, dreams of a perfectly programmed life. While working on a voice-activated refrigerator, she inserts a super sensor chip lost by the National Intelligence Service. This creates an 'Ancestral Spirit' program that identifies scummy individuals rather than checking vegetable freshness. Ji-seong learns her seemingly perfect fiancé Jeong-han is not her Prince Charming. She then meets firefighter Jung Kook-hee, who has no social media record and whom the program cannot analyze.
