Soo-In (Kim Nam-Gil) was a talented cook who became falsely accused of killing his wife and then received a life sentence in prison.

Sang-Byun does make the request that if by chance Soo-In is able to escape from prison to visit the café named Luth. Soo-In manages to escape from prison.

Out of prison, Soo-In confronts the priest who had an affair with his wife. The priest confesses to the murder, but then takes his own life. Soo-In, having now lost all hope to clear his name and nowhere to go, decides to visit the cafe Sang-Byun requested.

When Soo-In arrives at the beach side cafe named Luth, he meets the proprietor Mi-ya (Woo Seul Hye Hwang). Mi-ya is a beautiful women, a magician, and also bears heavy mental scars from her past. Mi-ya eventually hires Soo-In as a cook. The two become closer & soon love blossoms. One day Soo-In tells Mi-ya it was Sang-Byun who sent him there and this shocks Mi-ya ...

Sir, you are a very good actor.
I watched movies, fascinated her acting work.
Although I live on the other side of the world, but the art is very close to me.
Accept congratulations.
More good luck to you when you return to civilian life.
Until then, take care, be strong, healthy and happy!
Sincerely, Juliet

Hi Hi Nam Gil !

I really like your role in Great Queen Seon Deok. I think that we did not see this dvd for sale in Singapore. I know that you are now serving in the army. Hope to see more of your good acting when you finish your National Service in Korea. I enjoyed "Bad Guy" too! But do not like the fact that all your roles require you to "die" in the end. Is there any chance you will come to Singapore for a concert, movie launch or promotion of products endorsed by you?

I am your faithful fan :) Sarangheyo! Why does your Korean Management company not give us a chance to sign up for your fanclub so that we can buy or support all your movies/ dramas or songs (albums)? Please help :)

From
Sophie
