The premise

Life, death and second chances take center stage in this story about three people whose intertwined destinies travel through space and time with haunting results. It’s the 1980s and Detective Cha Hyung Bin has devoted his life to criminal justice, and his heart to Ha Eun, a bookshop owner suffering from heart disease who keeps her illness a secret. But Cha Hyung Bin isn’t the only one pining after Ha Eun: serial killer Gong Ji Chul has also fallen in love with her. Their lives collide with tragic results, but 30 years later, they’re reincarnated and fate brings them together again. The more time passes, the more their new lives become tangled in the devastating web of history. Will they manage to escape the past, or be forced to come face to face with it?

Horror Vault's take

Across two separate lifetimes spanning decades, three souls are bound together by love, obsession, and unfinished tragedy. In the 1980s, a devoted detective and a dangerous serial killer are drawn to the same woman — a quiet bookshop owner with a fragile heart and a secret. Thirty years later, their reincarnated selves are inexplicably pulled back into the same fatal orbit. As buried memories begin to surface, the question becomes whether destiny is a second chance or an inescapable sentence.
