In the future, zombies receive treatment, allowing them to live and work together with humans. However, a side effect of the medication is memory loss. Yeo-wool (Park Ki-woong) supervises the cured zombies and despises them, but former zombie Shi-wa (Nam Gyu-ri) follows him around even though he mistreats her. One day, Shi-wa collapses from overwork and Yeo-wool goes to see her.
Yeo-wool and Shi-wa come face to face and Shi-wa remembers something she
had forgotten. Han Ji-seung's 'I Saw You' is a zombie romance that mixes musical and horror genres with his own sensibility.
