A heart-breaking romantic tale, which starts with Jun-ho, breaking up with his girlfriend Xiaoyou, since he wants to return to Italy to learn opera, supposedly his childhood dream. The movie starts with a scene in which Jun-ho shows his tickets to all the friends gathered at a party. Xiaoyou tries to persuade him not to go. After a bitter fight, Jun-ho breaks up with her and flies back the same night.
The first half of the movie concentrates on Xiaoyou having to deal with the breakup as she struggles with both emotional and work pressure. She and Jun-ho had been working as interior designers at a firm in Shanghai. They met in the university and eventually fell in love with each other. Jun-ho, a Korean student who was raised by his elder sister in Italy, comes to study and work in Shanghai. After an incident, Jun-ho finds out that he has brain cancer and has only 6 months to live. He finally makes up his mind to break up with Xiaoyou, rather than let her see him die. After 3 months, when Xiaoyou still cannot forget him, he fakes his death in Italy with the help of his elder sister and arranges a funeral, so that Xiao You can finally move on in her life. But things only get worse for Xiao You, as she gets more emotionally attached to him after his death.
Her neighbour, Tian Bo, tries to save her from an accident, creating a friendship. However, Xiaoyou's memories of Jun-ho grow only stronger day by day. His unfinished work at a bar keeps her going. Every night, strangely though, her work seems to be completed by some goodwill stranger. She starts communicating with this stranger through smileys drawn on the wall. While Xiao You don't know the identity of the stranger, it is revealed that the person working on the bar at night is none other than Jun-ho, who, with the help of his ex-employer Mr. Ma, secretly tries to fulfill his promise of "never letting her go". Jun-ho's health condition worsens and he is admitted to the hospital for a major surgery, after which he realizes that he might die anytime soon. At his request for one last time, Jun-ho, in disguise as a bear, makes her smile again, with a hug.
The film ends with Xiaoyou visiting Jun-ho's elder sister in Italy after a year, paying her last respects at his grave and listening to all the daily logs he had made watching her every step and caring for her by staying in an apartment just above hers. Hence, the title "Never Said Goodbye".
