Synopsis
Lee Won-sang is a graduate student working on his thesis. He works part-time to save enough money to study abroad. One day when he is told by his girlfriend that she had fallen in love with a married man, he turns away coldly. He comes to meet the man in question, Han Yun-shik while helping his friend who works at a magazine publishing company. On impulse and a kind of strange curiosity, he decides to get a job there. He meets Park Seong-yeon who is a veterinarian and an amateur photographer, and gets to like her. Knowing that Seong-yeon doesn’t like her job as a veterinarian very much, Yun-shik offers her a job as photographer at the company, and also wants to seduce her. Yun-shik who at first had set out to do his usual seducing routine, finds himself genuinely drawn to her, and Seong-yeon liberally accepts his boyish charms. Won-sang catches on what is going on between the two and pursues her even more sincerely, but despairs at the thought that he cannot make her truly happy.
