Plot

The story follows Ji-hwan (played by Cha Tae-hyun), who begins receiving mysterious letters containing black-and-white photographs of children. These images evoke memories of his past and two former friends, Soo-in (Son Ye-jin) and Gyung-hee (Lee Eun-ju).

Five years earlier, Ji-hwan encountered the two women while taking photographs. Although he fell in love with Soo-in at first sight and attempted to confess his feelings, she politely declined. Despite this, the three formed a close-knit bond, spending their time together in what they considered the most precious moments of their lives. Eventually, the group faced complications regarding the boundaries between love and friendship, leading to the sudden departure of Soo-in and Gyung-hee. The arrival of the letters prompts Ji-hwan to embark on a journey to find his friends, during which he uncovers a significant secret.
