Plot

Sang-Hyun (Lee Beom-Soo) is a bus driver working the late shift in a quiet suburban area of Seoul. An avid vinyl fan with little ambition for much else, Sang-Hyun is content to spend his free time at home, DJ’ing mix tapes of old rock songs, which he then plays on his bus. But things begin to change when Kyung-Woo (Lee Eun-Ju), a young blind woman with a broken heart, becomes a passenger on Sang-Hyun’s bus. Having moved to the neighborhood to get away from a disastrous relationship, Kyung-Woo is determined to make it on her own despite her disability. Sang-Hyun steals glances at her from his driver’s seat and after a while, develops a crush on Kyung-Woo. But Sang-Hyun is too shy to make a move. Even when a chance meeting leads to a friendship between the two, Sang-Hyun, out of simple but pure embarrassment, hides behind a false name and identity.
