For the past years, he carried her love as her strength in times when he feels down. Jae Hyun dreamed that one day, he would see Ji Soo in a happy place.

This happens not only to our Jae Hyun and Ji Soo but to anyone who felt that first love was one of the best parts of their life. The past brings back memories when something close to us comes back.
The excellent performance from lead roles and cast brings you in-depth of the story.
The main characters' performance as Yoo Ji Tae (old Jae Hyun) and Lee Bo Young (old Ji Soo) is amazing - at times, heart-wrenching. They don't exchange a lot of words now, but their emotions bring out the plot in each scene.
