Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming ride as the 2026 Korean series “Cabbage Your Life” follows a city family thrust into rural chaos, where cabbages, clashing neighbors, and unexpected romance turn everyday struggles into pure joy.

Overview

“Cabbage Your Life” (Korean title: “Simwoomyeon Yeonriri,” also known as “If It’s Deep, Yeonriri”) is a 12-episode family comedy-drama that blends sitcom laughs with touching slice-of-life moments. Directed by Choi Yeon-soo and written by Hwang Hye-ji, the series airs on KBS2 every Thursday starting March 26, 2026, at 21:50. Set in the fictional village of Yeonriri – a “clean yet fierce” countryside haven – the story explores family reboot, rural adaptation, and the healing power of community.

Plot Synopsis

Seong Tae-hun, a high-achieving corporate manager, is suddenly transferred from Seoul to the remote village of Yeonriri. With zero farming experience, he drags his wife Jo Mi-ryeo and their three sons into a world of cabbage fields, village gossip, and stubborn locals. The family desperately schemes to return to city life, but as they battle muddy boots, nosy neighbors, and a company project that shakes up the entire village, they slowly uncover what truly matters.

At the center of the conflict is the proud village head Im Ju-hyeong, who clashes with Seong Tae-hun over development plans – leading to outright “war” between the two dads. Meanwhile, their children secretly fall in love at first sight, adding sweet tension to the feud. Through hilarious mishaps and heartfelt conversations, the city family learns to rely on one another, wins over the villagers, and discovers that happiness might just grow right where they planted their first cabbage.
