In the movie, she played the role of Shin Hae-mi, a childhood neighbor and classmate of the male lead character Lee Jong-su.
One Day, Hae-mi goes to America for vacation and asks Jong-su to feed her cats. Once she returns to South Korea, Hae-mi introduces Jong-su to Ben (Steven Yeun), a decent and rich guy.
Jong-su doesn’t know the relationship between Hae-mi and Ben, just like how he doesn’t understand the relationship between himself and Hae-mi. Although Jong-su and Hae-mi once make love together, they never declare their relationship. Things get strange when Jong-su finds out that Ben has a strange hobby. Then, Hae-mi disappears without any reason.
