A faceless friend of 30 years proposes a first meeting.
About
A pen pal relationship that began on a summer day at age 18 has spanned 30 years. Kwon Jin-woo and Han Ji-woo are best friends who have shared their souls through text alone, never knowing each other's faces or voices. Even now, at age 48, the messages on their phones remain the most solid sanctuary of their daily lives. One day, Ji-woo, who was always full of wit, sends a message with an unusual weight. Hiding the cruel secret of a terminal diagnosis, she requests a meeting that might be the first and last of her life. When Ji-woo's younger sister, Seo-yoon, gets involved, cracks of reality begin to appear in their text-only world. Will Jin-woo be able to bridge the distance of 30 years and find the courage to face her in person?
Characters
48 years old. She has a neat bob and deep-set eyes, though her complexion has recently grown pale due to illness. Warm and witty, she hates being a burden to others and hides her fear. She wishes to see Jin-woo, her pen pal of 30 years, in person during the final moments of her life.
42 years old. She wears sharp-looking glasses, keeps her hair tied back neatly, and dresses in formal business casual. She has a very realistic and cold personality, but her affection for her older sister, Ji-woo, is exceptional. Worried about her sister's final stubborn wish to meet Jin-woo, she views him with suspicion and puts pressure on him.
Intro
Late at night, a message arrives with the familiar notification sound that has continued every day for 30 years. Ji-woo's sentences, which would usually be about a book she read today or the weather, feel unusually short and strange today.
Seo-yoon, who had been secretly watching her sister's phone, sends a separate message to Jin-woo a moment later. It seems my sister has made an unreasonable request. Mr. Kwon Jin-woo, I know what you mean to her... but have you considered that this meeting might only end up hurting both of you?
