Ten years later, Park Hyeon Soo has changed his name to Ji Eun Ho (Joo Jin Mo) and it’s always related to Eun Dong. His most alive memory with her is a video of just a few seconds and he’s watching it over and over again to keep her memory alive in his mind and feel closer to her. The reason behind his autobiography is to find Eun Dong, his one and only fiancée. As for dating Young Sun Group’s oldest daughter, Jo Seo Ryeong (Kim Yoo Ri), it’s just a rumor, he only see her as a good friend. Except for the video, he always returns to the same place at the park and eagerly prays for Eun Dong’s presence. The only reason he became a famous actor was to reach this point in his life and try to find her once and for all.

He doesn’t intend to write the book on his own and his manager found a ghostwriter for him, Seo Jung Eun (Kim Sa Rang) who’s eager to work for the renowned actor Eun Ho. It’s just the beginning of a quirky and deeper connection since Eun Ho will be contacting her with the recordings of his memories and various information concerning everything that has to do with Eun Dong whom he holds dearly close to his heart, just like their very own song. Eun Ho is the mastermind of his past and Jung Eun is the one structuring his memories into a book form. Jung Eun’s life is tough, she has to take care of her husband, Choi Jae Ho (Kim Tae Hoon), who’s on a wheelchair and their son, Choi Ra Il (Park Min Soo), whereas at the same time she’s working as a part-timer at a store and on very specific days she progresses Eun Ho’s autobiography which isn’t really an autobiography but the cartography of his heart. “My Love Eun Dong” is the title of his forthcoming book and was conceived by Jung Eun.

Going throughout Eun Ho’s memories, as time passes by they echo differently in Jung Eun’s mind, especially the name “Eun Dong” and flashbacks of utterly blurry memories emerge to the surface as she maintains a connection of the song and the moment it became more precious in Eun Ho and Eun Dong’s lives. There’s a reason behind her blurry memories who felt as if she was hallucinating while losing herself way too much inside someone else’s story. See dwells in the empty waters of amnesia that occurred after a car accident, the same car accident that separated Eun Dong from Hyeon Soo ten years ago.

Her adoptive mother tries to hide everything related to her life before the accident and her father makes her feel guilty for her husband’s condition and considers her a constant sinner for this. On top of that, her mother-in-law accuses her of not taking care of her husband properly even though she was the one whom her husband tried not to hit with the car and ended up in a wheelchair. Her father had his own benefits from that accident, i can’t know for now what deals took part in the background and how Eun Dong found herself married with a child, but one thing is for certain, her adoptive father’s coaching career was benefited from this and he sacrificed his daughter’s memories, dreams and whole life for his own ambitions.

The doctor Jung Eun had been visiting with her husband has been Hyeon Soo’s sister, Hyun Ah who’s currently a single mother since her husband eventually passed away. In order to move on with the marriage and her life she ran away from home and she never looked back ever since. Another coincidence has to be the fact that Hyeon Soo’s mother who has never seen her granddaughter buys clothes for Hyun Ah’s daughter from the store where Jung Eun works as a part-timer. All in all, Jung Eun or most preferably Eun Dong is surrounded by Hyeon Soo and his family! Hyun Ah urges Jung Eun to give it a shot and try to recover her memories and she’s the only one actually supporting her in her decision. As the episodes were passing by the grandmother from the Korean class who used to have Hyeon Soo’s letter in case she appeared recognized her and so did Hyun Bal (Kim Yong Hee) who has become quite successful and he’s currently the president of the company promoting Eun Ho.

Hyun Bal and Seo Ryeong doesn’t want Eun Ho to meet his ghostwriter because it would inevitably mean that he would definitely find Eun Dong in Jung Eun’s existence. Hyun Bal doesn’t want this meeting to take place because it would go against his ambitions since the relationship between Eun Ho and Seo Ryeong wouldn’t progress, not that it would progress anyway, but if it had a 1% chance of blooming now it doesn’t stand a chance. Seo Ryeong swims in the waters of one-sided love and she doesn’t want to lose Eun Ho, even though he only sees her as a friend. She’s willing to try to hide the sun, Eun Dong, from his eyes and it’s one more reason to join forces with Hyun Bal. However, Jung Eun’s voice has already started echoing differently to his ears and he started making connections to Eun Dong despite the information about her that points towards a different person, he won’t rest until he finally meets his ghostwriter who’s no other than the ghost of Eun Dong awaiting for its awakening!
