Summary
“Throughout his entire life, Chae Jeong-hyeon has lived as just another shadow, an art restorer burdened with the role of hidden ghost painter to his father, the renowned Painter Chae. The old master has now suddenly passed away and Jeong-hyeon’s long-held desire for revenge has gone to the grave with him into despair and abandonment. Yet, just when he thinks to give way to despair, a stranger appears: Yeom Tae-hwa, a man polarized between the mortal and the divine. Tae-hwa makes Jeong-hyeon an offer, if he restores what is lost and shares a roof, he will restore the honor stolen from him by his father. Jeong-hyeon reluctantly accepts the terms, preserving the faded sense of hope Tae-hwa offered. As the days pass, that connection between obligation and fascination begins to blur. Persuading him to share the responsibilities of both their lives, Jeong-hyeon is irresistibly drawn closer to the enigma of Tae-hwa… and the secret hidden in the silences of two hundred years.”
