Synopsis by Mark Deming

Two ordinary people looking for love may have found it with one another in this low-key romantic drama. Jung Won-ju (Jeon Do-yeon) is a bookish-looking schoolteacher with a habit of daydreaming, and Kim Bong-soo (Seol Kyeong-gyu) is a bank teller with a habit of confessing his deepest secrets to the surveillance camera near his window when he thinks no one is looking. Jung and Kim have one important thing in common -- they're both lonely and looking for someone with whom they can spend their lives. Jung is a regular customer at the bank where Kim works, and they have a habit of bumping into each other around town; one day while doing her banking, Jung sees Kim talking on the security monitor about how he wishes he had a wife, and she wonders if maybe the man she's been looking for is the man who has been in front of her all along.
