After the tragedy of her sister, Renae makes a deal with Haneul Lee, a Korean businessman who's work visa is ending soon. She needs a place to live and someone to look after her, and he needs a green card to continue his career in the States. On strictly contract-like terms, they get married.
Two years later, Renae is unhappy and per her request, Haneul agrees on a divorce. Haneul moves back to Korea, taking up a job with his cousin while Renae plans on returning to her passion in piano. Everything is going smoothly and the two agree to keep in touch. Until a half month later, Renae finds herself with tear-stained cheeks as her ex-husband's coffin is lowered into the ground of a Korean cemetery.
Devastated and in shock, Renae returns home heartbroken without a clue as to why. He was no longer hers and they had never loved each other in that way before. Yet, she can't make the pain of losing him go away. All hope for the rest of her life seems to be lost, until one morning, Renae finds Haneul back in their apartment. Alive.
Somehow traveling back in time three months before Haneul's death, Renae makes it her personal mission to prevent him from leaving this world a second time. But as the only one with the previous knowledge of the turn of events, it's not so easy preventing a murder... especially when the victim starts to fall in love with you.

Now five years later any resemblance of her husband is drowned out by the silence of the Hanok village that Yoona seals herself in, only drifting to the Namdaemun Market often enough to keep her cupboards stocked. She would have remained in the silent village if she didn't inspect a noise across the courtyard one night, leaving her dinner to burn in the kitchen.
