Set during the transition from summer to autumn, The Table: Day and Night portrays the witty, subtle, and charming conversations of four pairs of men and women who cross paths at the same coffee shop, though not necessarily at the same time.

It also shows the unexpected reunion of Sang Mi, played by Han Sun Hwa, and Young Min, played by Chang Ryul, former private tutoring classmates from high school.
Added to these plots is the first and tense meeting between Hye Jin, a web novel writer played by Shim Eun Kyung, and Dong Nam, an independent filmmaker played by Lee Hee Joon. Completing the ensemble framework is the bittersweet relationship between Na Kyeong, an aspiring idol played by Jeon So Young, and her boyfriend Jong Su, played by Kim Dong Hwi.
