Ein Regiedebüt, das bereits mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet wurde. Eine moderne Liebesgeschichte: Der Rundfunk-Journalist Dong-Hyun und Su-Hyun, die für einen Home-Shopping-Kanal arbeitet, haben schwierige Beziehungen hinter sich und dabei schmerzliche Erfahrungen gemacht. Dong-Hyun ist völlig auf eine alte Flamme fixiert, und Su-Hyun ist in den Freund ihrer Freundin vernarrt. Über eine gemeinsames Interesse an Musik und On-Line-Kommunikation bahnt sich zwischen beiden via Internet eine Beziehung ganz besonderer Art an.

Having lost his girlfriend, Donghyun, a radio producer, is now living in isolation. His daily routine falls apart when his ex-girlfriend, Younghae, sends him an LP.

Soohyun, a Cable TV shopping guide, who is secretly in love with her friend's boyfriend, often drives around in the dark when she is feeling lonely. One day, after witnessing a car accident, she is fascinated by the music she heard on the radio at the time of the accident. Afterwards, she decides to send a message via e-mail to the radio station…

The Contact is a story about loneliness. Because he has been once wounded by love, the male protagonist, Donghyun, lives an isolated life. Sooyhun, the female protagonist, is a withdrawn person who is in love with a man who doesn't love her. Ironically, she can express her feelings via e-mail and ends up falling in love through this method of communication.
