Introduction

Title: Emerald Standard

Description:

Emerald Standard is a high school romance set in modern-day South Korea, where a seemingly ordinary love story is intertwined with an ancient Chinese myth — the red string of fate.

Han Jae and Park Eun, two high school students from different worlds, are mysteriously bound together by an invisible red string in a parallel universe. Their journey is filled with unexpected twists, love, and destiny as they navigate the complexities of teenage life and an unexplainable connection.

Characters:

Park Eun - A reserved, introspective student but has a good heart. He has a mysterious aura that makes him stand out with his green eyes but keeps others at a distance.

Han Jae - A cheerful and optimistic girl with a knack for finding beauty in the ordinary. She's known for her kindness and friendliness, making her popular among her peers. Her curiosity about the world often leads her to unexpected adventures.

Kim Yuna - Han Jae's best friend, a spirited and witty girl who is always ready to support Jae in her adventures. She is lesbian, fiercely loyal, a bit overprotective, and has a love for all things mysterious and supernatural.

Min-soo - Park Eun's childhood friend, who is outgoing, interested in music, and has a natural charm. Min-soo is the opposite of Park Eun in many ways, which is why they balance each other out so well.

Park Sol - Park Eun’s younger sister, who is energetic and always eager to be in the know. She looks up to her brother and enjoys teasing him about his lack of a social life.

Plot:

Park Eun and Han Jae have always lived parallel lives in the same high school, but they never crossed paths until a chance encounter during a rainy day. Both step into a large puddle simultaneously, unaware that this moment will shift their realities forever. In the blink of an eye, they find themselves bound by an invisible red string, drawn to each other in a world that mirrors their own but feels subtly different.

As they begin to notice the strange happenings around them, they discover they are in a parallel universe where their fates are inexplicably linked by the ancient Chinese myth of the red string of fate. The more they resist the pull of this mystical bond, the closer they are drawn to each other.

Their friends, Kim Yuna and Min-soo, unknowingly play their parts in guiding them to the truth.

Caught between two worlds, Han Jae and Park Eun must unravel the mystery of the red string while navigating the ups and downs of high school life, friendships, and first love. They soon realize that sometimes, fate has a plan far beyond their understanding — and it will take courage, trust, and perhaps a bit of magic to discover what it truly means.

Setting:

The story unfolds in a vibrant and modern South Korean city, centered around a high school campus. With lush greenery, busy classrooms, bustling cafeterias, and cozy coffee shops where students hang out after school, the setting captures the essence of youthful romance. The parallel universe, while similar to the real world, is tinged with subtle differences, like a mirror image slightly distorted, hinting at the underlying magic that binds the story together.
