Timeless is Zhang Li Yin's debut single under SM Entertainment in Korea. A repackaged version with Mandarin versions of the two title tracks was released in Taiwan for a limited time two months after the original release on November 18th, 2006.
The song "Timeless" was originally sung by American singers, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini in 2003 as a theme song for their movie. In 2006, there was another cover by Tina Arena and Kane Alexander. In this Korean version, the singers are replaced by Zhang Li Yin and Xiah Junsu (of Tong Vfang Xien Qi).
There are two different music video versions for this Korean edition. The first part is put together like a prologue to the second part, which concludes the story. SM Entertainment idols, Han Kyung, Choi Shi Won and Lee Yeon Hee star together in this music video couplet. Zhang Li Yin and Xiah only appear in the second part.

Music Video
In the music videos, Han Kyung, a high ranked police officer, and Lee Yeon Hee, a florist, are filmed as a young loving couple. Then one day, they are pulled apart when Choi Shi Won, playing a Korean mobster, kidnaps Yeon Hee and holds her at gunpoint. When Han Kyung realizes that it is his girlfriend being held in ransom, he immediately starts negotiating with Shi Won. During this, a brief but abrupt flicker of light shines onto a necklace Yeon Hee is wearing, blinding one of the police officers in the eye. Under the confusion, the police officer accidentally fires his own gun at Shi Won. Alarmed that he is being shot at, Shi Won returns fire, but at Han Kyung, who he assumes was the one who shot him. However, although the first police officer's bullet does not hit anybody, Shi Won's shot does, and consequently kills Han Kyung, whereas Shi Won's character eventually lives through the event and remains uncaptured by the police.
Later in the two-part series, Shi Won receives a heart transplant. After receiving this, memory flashes start to occur; all featuring Yeon Hee looking happily at him. One day, he drives by Yeon Hee's flower shop, though without any memory of the shooting nor with any idea of her relationship with Han Kyung. Soon, they become acquainted with each other. With some researching at the hospital the surgery was at, he finds out that it was Han Kyung's heart who he received his heart from. With this sudden realization, he remembers the locket necklace Yeon Hee was wearing at the crossfire. He opens it and in guilt, he sees that it features pictures of her and Han Kyung together as a couple. At the very end of the music video storyline, Shi Won returns to Yeon Hee's flower shop with the necklace in hand, and ultimately returns the locket to her.
