Storyline

According to an ancient legend, an invisible red thread connects people who are destined to meet, no matter how far apart they may be or how much time passes.

Seven years later, fate brings them together again. By this time, both have built new lives and are married to other people. Despite the years that have passed, their attraction to one another has not disappeared.
