Synopsis
The deceased older brother Jin-cheol frequently appears in Jin-hee's dreams before the 49th day memorial service. Jin-hee, who already suffers from anxiety due to a nervous breakdown, becomes even more hysterical. Seung-bong, the owner of the beauty salon, gets his hair done at Jin-hee's beauty salon every Sunday and goes to a nearby church, but he casts a sinister glance at Jin-hee. Using the store problem as an excuse, Seung-bong approaches Jin-hee more, and grandma Dong-hee, who lives next door, watches them with suspicion.

Soo-hyang, a junior in the pungmul band who left the village three years ago, suddenly appears in front of Yeong-ho after receiving a divine revelation.

Yeong-ho and Dong-gyoo help Soo-hyang set up a shrine, but the flirtatious Dong-gyoo openly pursues Soo-hyang. And Seung-bong, who has been showing interest in Jin-hee, succeeds in having some alone time with her with an offer that she cannot refuse. As the relationship between Jin-hee and Seung-bong progresses, Jin-hee, drunk, confesses her heartbreaking family history to Seung-bong, and Seung-bong decides to put into action something he has been planning for a long time. While Young-ho and Soo-hyang are having a good time reminiscing, Jin-hee's anxiety worsens when grandma Dong-hee notices the relationship between Jin-hee and Seung-bong.
