However, after losing his right leg to an illness, he is forced to abandon swimming and rebuild his life. Now a doctoral student specializing in robotics, Min Jae has created a quiet, carefully controlled existence, keeping his emotions guarded despite secretly longing to experience love. Meanwhile, Im Yoo Jin (Kim So Hyun) is a former fashion student struggling to find her place in the world after an unexpected setback derails her academic plans. When she crosses paths with Min Jae, she discovers a new passion for robotics and decides to pursue graduate studies in the field. As the two begin working together in a university robotics laboratory, Yoo Jin's outgoing personality and fearless approach to love gradually disrupt Min Jae's carefully maintained emotional walls.
