"Bruised Love" follows Vivienne and Emily, two childhood friends who escape their abusive families in search of a better life in the city. Leaving behind their small seaside town, they face the harsh realities of survival-financial struggles, loneliness, and the haunting scars of their past. In the city, they each find unexpected love-Vivienne with a mysterious man, and Emily with a passionate man-bringing moments of hope and healing. However, their newfound happiness is tested as secrets unravel, betrayal and heartbreak surface, and their unresolved traumas threaten to consume them. Blending romance, mystery, and slice-of-life storytelling, this is a tale of resilience and self-discovery, as the two women learn that true freedom lies not in running from their past but in confronting it, with love and friendship as their guide.

Eighteen-year-old Moebi has always been a giver, pouring his heart into others in the hope that someone will finally see him for who he truly is. His life has been a constant struggle to be "enough"-for his demanding father, whose approval feels perpetually out of reach, and for his mother, whose suffocating expectations leave him feeling trapped. At home, love is a transaction, earned only through unattainable perfection. This upbringing shapes the way Moebi chases love and avoids vulnerability. As he grows, he begins to recognize that his deep hunger for affection stems from the emptiness left by his family's conditional love. Desperate for connection, he seeks solace in romantic relationships, hoping to find the understanding and validation he craves. Each relationship becomes a turning point, teaching Moebi something new-about love, about himself, and about the unhealed wounds he carries. With every step, he learns the value of confronting his past and seeking healing in unexpected places.
