Dinner with friends takes a turn when Yeon-Ji’s coldhearted college ex shows up. After all those years, Hwa-Jo wants to try again… and to date like they used to. Should Yeon-Ji give it a second chance, when all Hwa-Jo did was leave her broken and humiliated? And why is Hwa-Jo reaching out now, just as their old college friend, Mo-Ju, has returned from abroad? The timing’s peculiar, but something’s different about Hwa-Jo. Will the two rekindle a broken love? Or will dark secrets of the past stand in their way?
