Synopsis
Jang Hee-tae (Uhm Tae-woong) and Kim Il-ri (Lee Si-young) first met when she was 18, fourteen years before the main events of the series. He had gone to the hospital for a circumcision, while she mistakenly ended up in the urology department while looking for orthopedics. They then bumped into each other as they were both leaving the facility. He later briefly became her substitute biology teacher while her regular teacher was on maternity leave, as he waited to go to the US to study. Il-ri developed a crush on him. For his part, he helped her get along better with her classmates and encouraged her to study and attend art school. Later, however, she was seriously injured when a car sped toward them and crashed into her, while she managed to push him out of the way. After delaying his trip multiple times, he was persuaded by Il-ri's mother to go to the US, as Il-ri just needed time to recuperate, and him losing his chance to study in the States and ruining his future would not help anyone. After spending a year recovering in the hospital, Il-ri began working as a house painter. Seven years later, they met again by chance, fell in love, and eventually got married. In the present day, Hee-tae works as a marine researcher on a fishing boat, while Il-ri becomes attracted to a carpenter, Kim Joon (Lee Soo-hyuk), who hires her to paint his studio.
