No matter how cold the weather, and no matter how heavy the snow may fall, it cannot put out the love and warmth between people. Even with geographical boundaries and limited communication, as long as love and affection are present, any barriers can be broken. King, a Korean illustrator, works as a part-time Korean language instructor to foreigners. One of his new students is Linda, a flashy Hong Kong girl dressed to impress, who is preparing to live with her Korean boyfriend, Ivan. During class, Linda displays a materialistic and nouveau-riche manner, which King finds quite repulsive, but he continues to teach Linda Korean for his livelihood. As they spend time together, King gradually discovers Linda's lovable characteristics and starts to change his opinion of her, while Linda is touched by King's seemingly cold exterior but deeply passionate internal nature. Subtle feelings begin to emerge between them.
