The story follows Young-Woong, a psychiatrist played by Kim Kyung-Ik, and his wife, Soo-Hyun, portrayed by Jin Hye-Kyung. After ten years of marriage, the couple experiences a decline in their emotional connection, leading to a sense of mutual indifference. The dynamic changes when Soo-Hyun's daughter, Haru (played by Ayaka Tomoda), arrives from Japan. Haru, who was born during her mother's time studying abroad, arrives seeking support after experiencing emotional trauma from a romantic betrayal. Soo-Hyun requests that Young-Woong provide psychiatric treatment for her daughter. As the therapy sessions progress, Young-Woong finds himself developing feelings that transcend the professional boundaries of a doctor-patient relationship.
