A man arrives at the L.A. airport holding a rice cooker and a thick diary. He is called Iron Palm, and he has come to the States with the sole hope of finding his first love Jinnie. Five years ago, he and Jinnie were in love, writing notes about the feelings they shared. He really wanted to come to America with Jinnie at that time, but he was just a good-for-nothing with every reason to fail the U.S. visa interview. So Jinnie left by herself, and all that is left behind is a diary record of the ‘Nineteen Times’ they made love. Ever since she left, Iron has been training himself in the Shaolin way, ‘iron palm’, to calm his yearning for love. Whenever he thinks of Jinnie, he puts his hands into a hot rice cooker. Therefore these two unique objects show how Iron Palm has lived without Jinnie. Jinnie, meanwhile, is now working as a bartender, dreaming of opening a unique ‘Jinnie’s Hot Soju Bar’ in L.A. She is going out with a guy called Admiral who runs his own business and is rich enough to make her dream come true. All of a sudden, however, her old boyfriend shows up and interferes with her well-planned future. With everything on the verge of breakdown, and the two guys starting to fight over Jinnie, she suggests an unusual solution.
