The story begins at the tail end of 1999, as voiceover actress Eun-ju (Jeon Ji-hyeon) moves out of a seaside home named ‘Il Mare’. Before leaving, Eun-ju leaves a Christmas card in the mailbox, with a message asking the eventual new owner to forward any mail of hers to her new address in the city. Meanwhile, exactly two years prior in 1997, Il Mare’s first owner, architect Sung-hyun (Lee Jeong-jae) receives Eun-ju’s card. Thinking it to be a joke, he writes back to Eun-uo and asks her not to tamper with his mailbox anymore, while pointing out that the ‘current year’ is 1997.
However, after a bit of back-and-forth banter, all doubt about the magical properties of the mailbox are soon erased, and Eun-ju and Sung-hyun begin sending regular correspondence to each other. In addition to finding out that they are both kindred spirits, they come up with new uses for their unique connection: Sung-hyun is able to return a tape recorder that Eun-ju lost two years ago, while Eun-ju is able to send back a still-unpublished book by Sung-hyun’s estranged father. Eventually, they agree to meet in person—an uneasy task given their separate time periods. Though the agreed-upon day is only a week away from Eun-ju’s perspective, it is still a full two years from where Sung-hyun stands.
