SYNOPSIS/PLOT Aboard a crowded overnight passenger train bound for the seaside resort of Kangwon province, an exhausted, half-asleep, standing commuter momentarily drifts into annoyed consciousness after having been bumped into by an oblivious, bespectacled, casually dressed man named Jaewan (Chun Jaehyun) on his way back to an adjoining car after purchasing refreshments and snacks from a mobile food vendor. The episode would prove to be the first in a series of coincidental near encounters between the young woman, a college student named Jisook (Oh Yun-hong) and her former lover, a married preofessor named Sang-kwon (Baek Jong-hak) who, unbeknownst to each other, is subsequently revealed to be traveling on the same train with his friend and former colleague, the previously observed food cart customer, Jaewan. Having recently separated from Sang-kwon, the melancholic Jisook has joined her student friends Eunkyoung (Park Hyunyoung) and Misun (Im Sunyoung) on the trip to the popular tourist resort for a recreational weekend of communing with nature: lazing on the beach, hiking through the woods (along the way, finding an oddly displaced, dying fish on the ground), and visiting a well-traveled waterfalls attraction where they pass by a polite and unassuming couple along a narrow footbridge on the trail.
