Lucky Chan-sil follows Chan-sil, a longtime film producer whose life is upended after the sudden death of her longtime director partner leaves her unemployed. Facing an uncertain future, she moves to a modest, rundown neighborhood and takes on work as a housekeeper.

While grappling with setbacks in both her career and love life, Chan-sil encounters a cast of intriguing people around her—a kind elderly landlady, actress Sophie, a French teacher named Young, and a mysterious man. Through these connections, she begins to reflect on her life and gradually rediscovers hope, purpose, and small moments of happiness. This warm, uplifting film poignantly explores themes of loss, self-discovery, and the quiet resilience found in everyday life.
