Plot
Bo-kyung (Han Hyo-joo) is approached by two young men from the countryside, who are both convinced she is Myung-eun, a girl who left the village years ago and whose father is now dying. When they realize she isn't who they think she is, the more outspoken of the pair, Ki-yeong (Kim Young-min), asks her to be the "stand-in" for a night, so that the old man can die after seeing his estranged daughter one last time.
