Synopsis
A virus has spread across the world that prevents people from feeling love.
Now, humanity is divided into two groups:
- Lovers (Yeonin): people who can feel love.
- Yeonggong: people who are incapable of experiencing love.
Yeonhee, a Yeonggong who desperately wishes that one day she could feel love, meets Jihan, a Lover who prays every night to become someone who can no longer feel it.
“Please teach me what love is.”
On impulse, Yeonhee asks Jihan to teach her about love.
“I’ll pretend for just one day. After all, you wouldn’t be able to tell whether it’s real love or just an act.”
Jihan accepts her proposal.
After a dreamlike summer night date, Yeonhee discovers an important clue in a letter her parents left behind twenty years agoâa clue about how to regain the ability to feel love.
“While searching for a cure for the Yeonggong virus with you, I’ll try to find out for myself… what love really is.”
Jihan, who had always rejected the idea of love, decides to join her.
Thus begins their strange and delicate journey together…
“Is your leg alright? Let me see.”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m going to massage it.”
“Really, it’s okay…”
“If you’re really fine, then stand up and walk right now. Otherwise, stay still.”
His actions are gentle, despite his indifferent tone.
“…It’s not that I don’t like being with you, Yeonhee. I just don’t like being in this house.”
His ears keep turning red.
The man who was once as cold as the winter wind has begun to change.
