Park Jae Won kept waiting over a year for Lee Eun Oh – who he knew as Yoon Seon Ah – who suddenly disappeared after agreeing to meet at Cheonggyecheon Stream.  On a snowy day, Lee Eun Oh appeared in front of Park Jae Won, who was drunk, and the two reunited.

Park Jae Won, who finally met Lee Eun Oh, and misunderstood her appearance as one of his dreams of longing.  He shed tears as he faced Lee Eun Oh and confessed his story.  When Lee Eun Oh asked him to forget about her, he said, “How can I forget you?” and grabbed her, saying, “Don’t go.”  The sorrow of Park Jae Won, who has not forgotten Lee Eun Oh, who still remains in his mind like the wedding ring still on his hand, moved viewers’ hearts.

The emotions of Park Jae Won, which Ji Chang Wook desperately portrayed, resonated with the viewers.  Even while talking about waiting for her became a daily occurrence, he asked questions with his eyes full of tears and sad expressions, asking, “Do you live well?  Really?”

“I’m getting ruined every day.  Why didn’t you contact me? You’re going to disappear again. Don’t go,” he said, shedding tears of sadness over the pain of parting again.  Ji Chang Wook’s sorrowful and desperate tears dominated the scene, immersing viewers into Park Jae Won’s story.
