Synopsis
A story about a couple who starts a war at home with extremely dangerous choices, and about finding the meaning of life as a husband and wife in Korean society.[citation needed]
Kim Yoon Cheol (Choi Won Young) is a famous chef and runs a popular Italian restaurant. He is happily married to Shim Jae Kyung (Kim Jung Eun) – or so he thinks until he meets the beautiful Jin Sun Mi (Choi Yu Hwa), a staff member at his restaurant.
Despite his six-year marriage to Shim Jae Kyung, he falls head-over-heels for Jin Sun Mi – and begins a steamy affair.
The two start to hatch a plot to kill Shim Jae Kyung – but when Kim Yoon Cheol arrives home one day, he finds that his wife is nowhere to be found and there are bloodstains everywhere.
He eventually learns that she has been kidnapped – and, returning to his senses, realizes how much he loves her. He resolves to find his wife, no matter what the cost.
But as he begins his quest, he starts to realize that his wife may have hidden depths even he could not have ever fathomed[6]…
