Determined to turn her life around, she makes the bold decision to quit drinking
In the midst of her transformation, she unexpectedly meets her old high school friend and first love, Seo Ui-joon, now a doctor. But Ui-joon isn’t the same kind-hearted boy she remembers. He has returned to his hometown as the head of a public health center and has become emotionally cold and distant.
