Synopsis
Ji-suk goes on a trip to the mountains in an attempt to brighten up her life after breaking up with her boyfriend. However, she argues with her friends, and although she almost begins an affair with a policeman, she remains dissatisfied and bored. Cho Sang-kweon may or may not be the ex-boyfriend of Ji-suk. He also goes for a restorative trip to the mountains, and although their paths criss-cross repeatedly, the pair never meet. Cho Sang-kweon also nearly begins an affair, but ends up paying for a prostitute instead.
