His life is perfect, with his beautiful violinist wife Kang Hyun-Chae ([[Nam Gyu-Ri]]) and a daughter. His wonderful life comes to a halt when his young daughter is kidnapped. He falls deep into despair. To change the past, when his daughter was kidnapped, he contacts Han Ae-Ri ([[Lee Se-Young]]) approximately one month in the past.

Han Ae-Ri has busy days with her studies and working a part-time job to make enough money to pay for her sick mother's operation. One day, her mother suddenly goes missing. Han Ae-Ri falls into despair, when Kim Seo-Jin from the future contacts her.
