Architecture 101

Seoul, the present day. Out of the blue, architect Lee Seung Min is approached by Yang Seo Yeon, whom he knew at college some 17 years previously, to design a new house for her on the site of her 30-year-old family home on Jeju island. Seung Min reluctantly agrees but can't come up with a design that pleases her. In the end, they decide to renovate and expand the existing house, and he and Seo Yeon spend a considerable amount of time together down in Jeju, to the growing annoyance of his fiancée Eun Chae, with whom he is soon to be married and move to the US. As Seo Yeon cares for her dying father and Seung Min learns more about what became of Seo Yeon in the intervening years, he recalls their initial meeting at college in the early 1990s.
