Song Soo-jung is a producer going on her third year at a small company. Her specialty is human interest stories. She is driven to produce these shallow stories for the sake of her ambition. However, she is reaching the end of what’s left of her pride. One day, after months of not getting paid, she leaves her office with the company camera. On her way, however, she comes across a robber, but she is saved somehow by “Superman” in a Hawaiian shirt. “Superman” claims he’s unable to tap into his supernatural powers as the bad guys have placed kryptonite inside his head. Despite this, he is intent on helping others, from saving the world to global warming to rescuing a lost puppy. Soo-jung can see this will make a good story and, with a little tweaking and fabrication, she produces the “Superman Saves the World” documentary which goes on to be a ratings hit. However, the true story behind this “Superman”, including the bullet and not the kryptonite that is lodged in his brain, helps the frosty, calculating Soo-jung to awaken to what’s truly important in life.
