Summary note

"Gyeong-wu was blind since birth, and she has seen the world just once through a UFO. She moves to the neighborhood where people were said to have seen a UFO. Gyeong-wu works as a counselor and takes the last bus home every night. On the bus, the radio show "Park Sang-hyeon and ttui-ttui-ppang-ppang" is always turned on. It is a show that introduces heartbreaking stories of the listeners and the DJ comforts them. But it turns out they were tape recordings made by the bus driver Sang-hyeon. One day Gyeong-wu asks to be friends with Sang-hyeon after he helps her. When she criticizes the radio program, Sang-hyeon lies about himself - his name, age and job. He introduces himself as Park Pyeong-gu, from the scribbling he saw on the wall. His double life as Park Sang-hyeon the bus driver and Park Pyeong-gu an electrician begins. The self-made recording which was just a hobby is now filled with his feelings toward her. But as he gets closer to Gyeong-wu, he feels guilty and confused. As his feelings for Gyeong-wu grow deeper, a crisis occurs in his double life. She says that she is going to send a postcard to the radio program to request a song. Will Sang-hyeon's love come to a dead end?"--Korean Movie Database (KMDb).
