Tae-il manages to convince his employer to void her interest payments. Ho-jeong is grateful but begins to regret the apprehend show of kindness when Tae-il looks for repayment by forcing her to spend time with him. He finally wins her heart when Ho-jeong’s father dies and Tae-il arranges the funeral. Sadly he is found to be breaking his conditions of parole and sent back to prison. Can a relationship survive after two years in jail?

The debut from director Hang Dong-wook could have easily have been a very generic movie but thanks to some excellent casting the director has made something special. The film stars favourites; Hwang Jung-min (The Unjust) and Han Hye-jin (No Mercy) who have vibrant on-screen chemistry. A weepy but enjoyment melodrama.
