The story
What it's about
After 10 years in the US, Hu-young returns to Korea and meets his first love, Hong-ju, at a café by chance. Just as the window into which Peter Pan flew happened to be Wendy's room. Just as the prince happened to find Cinderella's glass shoes. As if nothing had changed in the past 10 years, Hu-young becomes clumsier only in front of Hong-ju. It’s like going back to the age of 19 when he met his first love, Hong-ju. Hu-young and Hong-ju’s days, which have faded a little, begin to turn into vivid rainbow colors again.

Ever since, she has been deeply skeptical when it comes to everything love-related. A decade later, she has become an animation producer when fate reunites her with her former crush, Kang Hu-young, in a café. He has returned to South Korea from the United States, and is now a 29-year-old financial planner. They are both hit by a wave of emotions. Could a fresh chance at romance be in the cards? Or has too much water passed under the bridge?
