Even when others urged her to move on and forget the deceased, Gil-chae’s yearning for Jang-hyun never wavered, causing her to shed tears whenever thoughts of him crossed her mind.
Finally, after years of separation, Lee Jang-hyun arrived in Joseon. He asked a friend named Yang-eum to visit Gil-chae and let her know that he would be coming to Hanyang soon. With a heavy heart, Jang-hyun visited Gil-chae’s home, only to be confronted with an unexpected situation.
