What If You Died and Were Reborn Looking Like Your Soul
Most people assume that their souls are like a vapor or a ghostly apparition. They imagine that the apparition would look the same as your physical appearance. Otherwise, how would you recognize yourself?
- Cha Min (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) is the wealthy heir to Lan Cosmetics. He has always been judged by his outer appearance. He was not the dashing handsome knight in shining armor that all woman dreamed of marrying. But most people who knew him would agree that he had a beautiful soul.
- By contrast, Go Se-yeon (played by Park Bo-young) was a ravishing beauty! She was always judged by her physical appearance too! Ever since her high school days, guys would line up for a chance to become her man. She could have any man she chose and she chose none of them. Instead, she worked as a Public Prosecutor and lived the life of a free-spirited NMN single woman. (NMN = No man needed.)
