[Source : www.showeast.co.kr ]
At a live concert in Seoul, the staff is busy backstage preparing for the show. In-su is the lighting director for the concert and is busy working, but he suddenly gets a phone call, and passes his work over to his friend and rushes off. He is in a big hurry and speeds down the highway. He is in such a frantic rush that even though the speeding meter catches him on camera as he zooms by, he is unfazed. He is headed for the emergency room of Samcheok hospital, in the east coast of Korea.
The fact is that he was informed that his wife, Su-jin, was injured in a car accident on a snowed over road and is in critical condition. Her car crashed into another. When he reaches the hospital, he is surprised to find out that Kyung-ho, who was the driver of the car his wife was in, is in the emergency room too. Kyung-ho and Su-jin were supposedly on a business trip. At the hospital, he happens to meet Seo-young, Kyung-ho's wife, for the first time. Being faced with the critical life and death situation of their spouses Seo-young and In-su share sympathy for each other.
As the police conduct their investigation of the accident, it turns out that the Kyung-ho and Su-jin had been lovers. And this trip actually had nothing to do with business. In-su and Seo-young are overcome with absolute shock. They can't admit the horrible reality that they've been in love with people who've been in love with someone else. The harshness of this realization causes them more pain than that which resulted from the accident itself.
Sharing the hard emotional times together, In-su and Seo-young start to become closer. They meet often while visiting the hospital, in places like the intensive care unit's waiting room and the cafeteria, and they slowly discover how much they have in common. Eventually, as fate would have it, they fall for each other. They begin to take more and more comfort in been together.
But they are torn between feelings of guilt and happiness about having found each other. One day Seo-young asks “How is it that we are thrown into such trouble and pain, while they were so happy with each other without us knowing?” In-su is at a loss of words.
As they grow increasing and naturally closer to each other, while struggling with feelings of guilt, Su-jin one day gains consciousness. In-su seeing her crying, and finds it hard to hate her for what she did. Knowing that Su-jin is back in In-su's life, Seo-young tries to her best to detach herself from him. But the more she tries to stay away, she finds herself more and more attracted to him.
They decide to get away on a trip together, where they share extreme happiness being alone together, but during their get away, Kyung-ho dies in the hospital. The pain and guilt Seo-young feels for not having seen her husband before he dies pushes her to forget about In-su, and they end their relationship. In-su then decides to care for his recovering wife, giving her all his attention, and when she finally gets well, he tells her about everything.
It's spring, April. A concert at an open stage is going on and suddenly it begins to snow. The audience goes wild to see that it's snowing. In-su is reminded of the previous winter. At the same time, somewhere else, Seo-young is also reminiscing while watching the snow slowly fall. In-su is driving to Samcheok, while Seo-young is on her way there too. The two of them are smiling with looks of anticipation to relive the happiness they thought they had one day lost for good.
