Drama, Fantasy, Romance

In the year 1999, a young woman leaves her quaint seaside house and returns to the city, leaving in the mailbox a card for the next owner, with instructions to forward any mail of hers to the new address. In the year 1997, a jaded young architect moves into the same house and finds the letter. His reply, which he slips into the mailbox, finds its way to her, beginning a parallel-time love story separated by a span of two years.

Plot

In 1999, Eun-joo moves out of her house "Il Mare", leaving behind a Christmas card for the house's eventual new owner, asking him/her to please forward any mail of hers to her new address in the city. It is 1997 and Sung-hyun, the first owner of "Il Mare" is moving in and finds in his mailbox the Christmas card from Eun-joo. Thinking it is a joke, Sung-hyun leaves her a letter telling her so and reminding her that it's 1997, not 1999. Eventually the two realize that they are separated by two years of time but can somehow communicate through the mailbox and form a friendship through their letters.
