Here is the synopsis provided by CJ Entertainment: "Gi-joon (Gong Yoo) starts an agency that helps people locate their long-lost first loves and Ji-woo (Im Soo Jung) becomes his first client. She is dragged there by her worried father who learns that she is still hung up on Kim Jong-wook, a man she fell in love with on her trip to India in her early 20s. After days on end of little success, the agency receives a single phone call of fate. An inquiry from none other than Kim Jong-wook, hoping to find Ji-woo through help from Gi-joon’s agency."
