The Erase
Jae-yeon has always been a follower- and just went with what everyone else said. One day, she accidently spots her fiancé walking into a motel with another woman. At the obvious sign of betrayal, she is just heartbroken and is shell-shocked. And with the advice of her friend Su=mi, she decides to take some time off. She leaves everything behind, and runs off to a guesthouse in Jeju Island. Other guests have been occupying the guesthouse- and with Jae-yeon as their new member, they gather around the dinner table and each start their own stories on their past romances- extraordinary stories. One by one, they empty out their 'waste of emotions', yet to be thrown out yet.
