A Boy's Sister

When she was still a young girl, Yoon-hee lost her little brother in a traumatic incident. Her younger brother died after saving her from a swollen river during the rainy season and she has been living with the pain and guilt ever since. Because of the incident, Yoon-hee cannot go out during the rainy season and she has been fired from numerous jobs due to this. One day, Yoon-hee's wallet is stolen by a teenager in their neighbourhood. In the wallet, there's only a picture of her younger brother. Yoon-hee begins a new job as a cafeteria worker at a high school and whilst working there, she meets Jin-ho, the teen who stole her wallet. Both carry similar emotional scars from past incidents. By trying to save Jin-ho from the perils in which he finds himself, Yoon-hee manages to overcome the trauma that has been afflicting her for so long. As he becomes her surrogate brother, she starts to heal her emotional wounds and finally takes the steps for re-entry into the world.
