Kwon Gang-Ho works hard at a factory, earning a low salary but putting in long hours to support his family. His coworkers respect him for his kind nature. His wife, Yeong-Ran, stays in Seoul to raise their children, handling her responsibilities without complaint and focusing on their development. A brief lapse in attention causes an accident that leaves Gang-Ho with severe facial burns. He loses his job and returns to Seoul. To keep his family from knowing about this tragedy, he temporarily stays at a friend's house. While out one day, Gang-Ho sees his daughter about to step into the street. A speeding car nearly hits her, but Gang-Ho rushes to save her while disguised as the superhero "Gugu-man." After this, he begins using the Gugu-man costume to protect his family without being seen, keeping his identity hidden. This begins a touching story of a devoted father's ongoing efforts to keep his loved ones safe, even as he faces his own struggles.
