Plot
Bo-kyung (Han Hyo-joo) is approached by two young men from the countryside, who are both convinced she is Myung-eun, a girl who left the village years ago and whose father is now dying. When they realize she isn't who they think she is, the more outspoken of the pair, Ki-yeong (Kim Young-min), asks her to be the "stand-in" for a night, so that the old man can die after seeing his estranged daughter one last time. Despite her hesitation, she gets in their car.{{cite web |last1=Bourne |first1=Christopher |title=Review: Lee Yoon-ki's "Ad-Lib Night" – Meniscus Magazine |url=https://www.meniscuszine.com/articles/201108192702/lee-yoon-kis-ad-lib-night/ |website=Meniscus Magazine |access-date=2 August 2018 |date=19 August 2011}}
