A novelist Hyo-Seob doesn't publish a decent book yet. As he confirms only dust covers his manuscripts in his friend's publishing company, Hyo-Seob keenly disputes with a critic at a gathering table that night. Then he gets to be behind the bars. Suffering from sense of inferiority and persecution due to being considered as third grade writer, Hyo-Seob falls in passionate love with Bo-Kyeong, a married woman. Her husband Dong-Wu, a mysophobia , often goes to Jin Ju on business and he can't trust on Bo-Kyeong. By the way Min-Jae, a ticket sell of a theater who dreams to be the novelist Hye-Seob's wife with fair vanity and illusion, feels happy while she helps him to revise manuscripts but he is indulged in love affair with Bo-Kyeong without thinking of Min-Jae.
