Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A young girl posing as an experienced teacher answers the letters of a grieving man who recently lost his beloved wife in this romantic drama starring My Sassy Girl actress Jeon Ji-Hyeon. Jung-Min has begun a correspondence with a young army soldier named Hyun-jun. Though Jung-Min is merely a young girl, in the letters she portrays herself as a worldly teacher with the wisdom of a woman twice her age. As Jung-Min turns twenty, a man ten years her senior moves into her village. His heart heavy with sadness and sorrow, the grieving widower sends letters to his deceased wife on the wings of a carrier pigeon nightly, knowing well that he will never receive a reply. One day, much to the man's surprise, a reply does come. It seems there is another lost soul in this village who carries as much misery as he, and soon these two will meet - if not by sheer chance, then by fate.
