Hojung (Moon Sori) is a former dancer now settled down to taking care of her precocious 7 year old adopted son Sooin and her eccentric alcoholic father-in-law and a secretive mother-in-law. Her husband Youngjak (Hwang Jungmin), however, is hardly home, too busy with his law pratice, drinking, and seeing his young mistress, Yeon, a former model.

Hojung stays youthful and fit by practicing dance at the local school and bicycling while running her errands. She mostly accepts Youngjak's infidelity but she is getting more and more sexually frustrated to the point that she can't find her G-Spot. When a teenage boy living next door becomes infatuated with Hojung, she is at first curious but then drawn to his attention.

Then circumstances unfold force Hojung and Youngjak to actions and lead to decisions surprising and unexpected. The father-in-law's liver fails and he enters the hospital with a month to live. Youngjak is out of town with Yeon and on their way back there is an accident. Hojung's liaisons with the teenage boy are found out by the boy's father, and another tragedy occurs.

Born and raised in Daegu, Kyung Won believed that aviation school in Japan was her ticket out of poverty. To achieve her dream, she spends her days studying, while at night, she works tirelessly as a mechanic and taxi driver to save enough money for tuition. For five long years, Kyung Won attends aviation school, eventually graduating at the top of her class. But even as she earns her pilot's license, there's one thing she hasn't planned for - being forced to choose between her job and her love, as she falls for Han Ji Hyuk (Kim), a weather officer.

Trivia : Blue Swallow is a 2005 South Korean film based on the true story of Park Kyung-won, an early Korean female pilot.The film became controversial when Park's alleged pro-Japanese activities came to light. It was also found that she was not, as the filmmakers had thought, the first female pilot from Korea. Some Koreans protested the movie and called for it not to be released.
