A tender, melancholic romance about two isolated souls finding unexpected connection through technology and music, caught between longing for the past and hope for the future.

The male radio presenter Dong-hyun and the female TV home shopping phone operator Soo-hyun are both lonely. While Dong-hyun is focused on getting back to his ex-girl-friend Young-hae who has sent him a special LP, Soo-hyun is crazy for her friend's boy-friend. Via Internet and music Soo-hyun and Dong-hyun get together in a special way.
