Following the incident, they became friends and Dam-ryeong named her Se-hwa, after his younger sister. They ended up falling in love, but one day Dam-ryeong was forced by his family to marry another girl. Devastated at the news, Se-hwa decides to leave Dam-ryeong forever and erased all his memories about their love. However, fate brings them back together and they tried to escape from humans who were going to separate them. Fearing that the same ill-fate that afflicts himself and Se-hwa will replay itself, Dam-ryeong sends an artifact to be discovered in the future to try and warn his future self. The fates of Dam-ryeong and Se-hwa become entwined with their modern day incarnations. Dam-ryeong was reborn as Heo Joon-jae, a charming con-artist. He meets Se-hwa again (whom he later named Shim Chung) in Spain, and she was quickly besotted by him. Linked by dreams and mysterious artefacts, Joon-jae learns of Dam-ryeong's world and his own fate. Cast[edit]Main[edit]
