Synopsis

Kim Young-soo (

) is a section chief in the women's apparel section at Sunjin's department store. He and his wife Shin Da-hye ( Lee Min-jung) do not get along because his long work hours and constant overtime distract him from home. During one of these overtimes, he accidentally falls from a roof and is killed. His company writes his death off as a suicide in order to not receive blame for overworking him. Han Gi-tak ( Kim Soo-ro) is a former gangster who runs a restaurant. He has loved actress Song Yi-yeon (

) for many years, but she has always distanced herself from him because of his lifestyle. Her ex-husband, Cha Jae-gook (

) has whipped up a scandal to force her to give him their child, and threatens Yi-yeon with it. Just as Gi-tak figures this out, he gets in a car accident and is killed at the same time as Young-soo. Young-soo and Gi-tak both arrive in the afterlife, but they both feel that they must return: Young-soo to reconcile with his wife and prove his death was not a suicide, and Gi-tak to protect Yi-yeon. They are given two months and return to life in new bodies: Young-soo as Lee Hae-joon (

), a handsome young man; and Gi-tak as Han Hong-nan (

), a beautiful young woman. They have three rules: * They can not reveal their true identities. * Revenge is forbidden. * They cannot engage in human affairs. If any of these rules are broken, the fact that either of them ever existed will be erased.
