Plot
Seong-joon heads to Seoul to meet a close friend who lives in the Bukchon (North Village; Korean: 북촌), Jongno District. When the friend doesn’t answer his calls, Seong-joon wanders around Bukchon and runs into an actress he used to know. The two talk for a while, but soon part. He makes his way down to Insadong and drinks makgeolli (rice wine) by himself. Some film students at another table ask him to join them—Seong-joon used to be a film director. He soon gets drunk and heads for his ex-girlfriend’s house.
Whether it’s the next day or some other day, Seong-joon is still wandering around Bukchon. He runs into the actress again. They talk and soon part. He eventually meets his friend and they head to a bar called Novel with a female professor his friend knows. The owner of the bar has a striking resemblance to Seong-joon’s ex-girlfriend. He plays the piano for her.
Whether it’s the next day or some other day, Seong-joon goes to the Jeongdok Public Library with his friend and mentions that it was the first place he chased after a woman. Later, they have drinks with a former actor who had been doing business in Vietnam. The same female professor joins them and the four go to the bar called Soseol (lit. Novel). Seong-joon gets drunk and ends up kissing the owner of the pub…
Seong-joon may have spent a few days in Seoul with his friend, or it may still be his first day there. He may have learned something from the encounter with his ex-girlfriend, or may have to meet the woman that resembles her again, for the first time. As life presents itself in no more than today’s worth of time, Seong-joon also has no other choice than to face his "today".
