Synopsis
How long does love last and when does it bloom and shrivel? Love has two sides to it. There’s the fluttering of the heart and warmth. And wanting to become someone better than you are... Like nature that spawns life, love can uplift a depressed spirit. There are times when you are consumed by jealousy as well. The urge to have someone’s exclusive attention. And misunderstandings that arise from being insecure and feeling inferior... You cannot make a person love you back. Just like how you cannot choose when you will die, love is also like that. It’s something you have no control over. We grow and mature as people through love.

Han Tae-sang, 37 (Actor Song Seung-heon)
A self-made businessman. Using profits from his successful lending firm, Golden Tree, he pursues a project to build a multi-use building called Space Q. He has plans to use several floors for a boutique hotel and also house a concert hall in the projected building. After making millions in the lending business, he enters the business of arts and culture for the love of one woman. For the longest time he was smitten with a woman much younger than himself. He fell in love for the very first time. After waiting patiently for years, he finally gets the nerve to confess his love. Whenever he’d eat at a spicy rice cake shop or steamed monkfish restaurant he would be talking on the phone in a very serious tone. Once the woman he liked saw him crying while he was eating a hot chili pepper at a steak restaurant. This same woman called him a baby for liking his coffee with heaps of syrup and milk. And whatever she said would warm his heart and make him love her even more.
