Jumong star Song Il-kook headlines this three-part period drama produced for Korean television, and set during the Japanese occupation of Korea. In-hee (Jang Shin-Young) is on the run from an arranged marriage when she crosses paths with handsome musician Gi-hyun (Il-kook). Their friendship blossoming into love over the course of the next few years, In-hee lands a job in radio while Gi-hyun finds success as a saxophone player. When Gi-hyun discovers In-hee's boss Young-jin (Lee Jung-Gill) - a Korean national whose loyalties reside with the Japanese - is the same man who previously killed his wife and escaped prosecution, he is shipped to Japan to labor in the coal mines. Years later, Japan is defeated and a vengeful Gi-hyun returns to Korea to discover his home country is a much different place than it was before the war.
