Shiwoo returns home one day to find an injured man in strange clothing asleep outside of his apartment. The man can't speak Korean but seems astonished to see him and kisses him. After a few days and a brief crash-course in modern Korean, Shiwoo learns that the man's name is Jun, that he comes from another time, and that Shiwoo is the spitting image of Jun's husband.
I would've liked to have seen a bit more development with regards to the idea of parallel universes. Was Shiwoo actually Myung's reincarnation or his double in another universe? Was the birthmark a coincidence? How did Jun arrive here? Why did Jun arrive with his memories? Does any of that matter? Maybe not. This story was ultimately about Jun accepting the loss of his spouse and moving on with life - and the same was true for Shiwoo as well. I liked the parallel with his missing brother and the hope that, like Jun and Myung, perhaps he is alive somewhere.
The translator's comments throughout made me laugh, especially the dig about Onodera. I laughed out loud and had to save it.
