Synopsis

Young-su treats his life rather carelessly, drinking and clubbing all the time. But when he is diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, his friends and lovers abandon him, and his business plunges toward bankruptcy. Forced to reconsider his lifestyle, he reluctantly decides to go into a recovery center to cure his addiction. Eun-hee counts her days carefully, for lung disease is shortening both her breath and her life. She treasures each moment as a gift and tries to expand her time on earth in a constant fight with death. She does not show her pain but happily goes through her daily routine. Eventually, Young-su starts to feel something more than a simple physical attraction to Eun-hee. At first he flirts with her but then he starts to fall for her quiet charm and loving attitude.
