“Even as the era changed twice, the one I loved remained the same.”
About
Yeonhwajae, a luxury accommodation located in a quiet corner of South Korea. Eight female participants have been invited by the production team to live together here for a set period to find new love. The concept of the program is a simple dating reality show. However, there is one secret about this program that no one knows from the start. These eight participants were also intertwined with each other approximately 500 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty. Some were lovers, some were friends, some were enemies, and some were merely passing acquaintances. And those connections did not end completely. In the present, the eight meet again without knowing who they were in the past. Someone who feels strangely familiar despite meeting for the first time. Someone whose face makes your heart ache for reasons you can't explain. Someone you are drawn to without cause. Conversely, someone who makes you feel uncomfortable beyond description. The reasons for all these emotions lie in the ties left behind in the Joseon Dynasty.
