Living with two weirdos wasn't exactly on my life plan, but here we are. There's Kon, the professional sarcasm machine who pretends not to care but secretly acts like a tired single dad. Then there's Kitsuya, who's so soft and dreamy he probably glows in the dark (no, seriously). And me? I'm Mira, the only one who remembers to pay the bills and the first one to start chaos over missing snacks. Together, we try (and fail) to be functioning adults in a tiny apartment that constantly smells like instant noodles and fabric softener. Our days are filled with dumb arguments, shared silences, awkward hugs, and occasional emotional breakdowns, followed by bubble tea runs, of course. This is a slice-of-life comedy about mismatched roommates, unexpected warmth, and figuring out what it means to be "home," even when your found family drives you absolutely nuts

In the summer of 1980, Bobby Tyson's future seemed certain. A high school wrestling phenom with a scholarship to Oklahoma State University, he was poised to chase collegiate glory-until a life-changing revelation upends his plans. When his girlfriend, Jennifer, announces her pregnancy, Bobby faces a heart-wrenching choice: cling to his dreams or step into the unpredictable role of husband and father. Defying expectations, he trades his singlet for a wedding ring, forfeiting his scholarship to build a life with Jennifer. As their son, Nicholas, enters the world, Bobby plunges into the chaotic, sweat-soaked world of professional wrestling. From dimly lit gyms to raucous sold-out arenas, he claws his way from obscurity to the brink of becoming the world heavyweight champion. But every suplex, every roar of the crowd, comes at a cost. Behind the scenes, Bobby battles to shield his family from the toll of fame, infighting, and the shadows of his abandoned past. Can he conquer the ring without sacrificing the love that anchors him? This is Bobby Tyson's story-a visceral saga of ambition, sacrifice, and the raw fight to hold a family together when the spotlight threatens to tear them apart.
