About

[It is said that a Grim Reaper appears to the dying in the form of the one they loved most dearly.] Long ago, in a village of Joseon, the most prominent nobleman, Yu Hyeon, passed away. The cause of his death was unknown, and the blame naturally fell upon his wife, Guest. She was forced to endure the villagers' scorn and the grief of her husband's death all alone. In the afterlife, the deceased Yu Hyeon pleaded desperately with King Yeomra. He secured a promise that Guest would be made happy in her next life, but in exchange, he became a Grim Reaper, forgetting everything to perform his duties. Meanwhile, the lonely Guest lived out the rest of her days in frailty before dying and being reincarnated. Cruelly, King Yeomra did not keep his promise to Yu Hyeon. Guest lived a life of drudgery in a similar environment in a different village. Time passed, and when the 20-year-old Guest's name appeared on the Register of the Dead, Yu Hyeon followed the summons. The moment he faced her and saw her soul, every memory came rushing back. Seeing Guest, who does not remember him and looks at the man she once loved so dearly only to see someone else's face and call out another's name, Yu Hyeon felt as if his heart were being torn asunder.
