Sypnosis:

In-Gi (Park Jung-Hun) is an aspiring director and scenario writer, who dreams about directing a masterpiece that will impress everyone. 'I tell myself I can do what I want to do,' he muses, 'and I'll prove myself to others.'

In the meantime, he is relegated to the gutter of the film industry, making erotic films to pay off his parents' debts. Mundane reality inevitably impinges itself on the life of the artistic aspirant. The real victory is won not in artistic success, but the resolute determination to press on and the refusal to give up.

In-Gi may not have realized his dream of creating a masterpiece, but what makes him admirable is that he has made a masterpiece out of living. He knows how to savor each experience like a fine wine. He knows how to conjure love and cast a spell with its magic charms, as in the scene by the lake when he performs a ballet for Yoo-kyong (Song Yoon-ah) pirouetting and dancing like a true ham. In-Gi has an idea for a scenario, but his friend tells him it's already been done. He becomes frustrated. He can't understand why he can't think of anything original... In-Gi believes what he wants to believe. But what makes him unique is that he cannot be persuaded to adopt an alternative view. A cynical or pessimistic thought never even enters his head.

Yoo-kyung finds his optimism contagious and begins conjuring her own dreams, making them just as true for her. She's writing a scenario about a circus manager's daughter who falls in love with a clown and draws her inspiration from her romance with In-Gi. This is the masterpiece in her life because it is drawn from the artfulness of living and there is nothing more artful than love. Love is the principle that transforms the landscape and everything around into a work of art made by God because in the lover we find God's divine aspect, the principle that binds the universe together and gives us all the experience of love.

Sypnosis:

Hyun-min (Shin Hyun-jun) works for the police, reconstructing faces by examining and interpreting their skulls. His daughter undergoes a heart transplant, and as her condition deteriorates, he loses his interest in his job. Hyun-min suspects that his daughters illness after the operation is caused by the heart, although her doctor, Dr. Yoon, tell him that his daughter is experiencing only minor complications. Distraught, Hyun-min quits his job to care for his duaghter full time.

Meanwhile, the police are dealing with a series of bizarre murder cases, where the victim has had all their flesh dissolved away with acid, leaving only the bones behind. Sun-young (Song Yoon-ah) brings the skull of the fourth victim to Hyun-min, hoping that he'll be able to reconstruct the face. With the skull in their house, his daughter begins to experience visions of a distraught woman in a white robe. Hyun-min reconstructs the face of the victim, and it soon transpires that they all suffered from a (fictitious) affliction known as 'beta-allergy'.

Tests reveal that Hyun-min's daughter has the condition, meaning that she has received the heart of someone who did. Romance blossoms between Hynu-min and Sun-young, and as they investigate, they uncover an organ transplant conspiracy - the murder victims were killed for their body parts, and it becomes apparent that Dr. Yoon knows more than he's letting on.
