52 parts Complete When Jisung transfers to a new high school, he's hoping for a fresh start. But his quiet demeanor and love for art immediately make him stand out as the "new kid," a label he's never been fond of. On his first day, he crosses paths with Minho, the charismatic and confident football star, whose reputation precedes him as both a skilled player and a heartthrob. Minho's life seems perfect, but he's been struggling with more than just practice schedules-he's dealing with the pressure of his upcoming future and the expectation that he'll lead his team to victory.
The two quickly form an unlikely, but undeniable, connection. Jisung helps Minho with schoolwork, and Minho shows Jisung the world of football (though Jisung's interest is more in the guy than the game). As their friendship grows, so do deeper feelings that neither of them anticipated.
The more time they spend together, the more they realize that they complement each other in ways they never thought possible. Minho's boldness pushes Jisung out of his shell, while Jisung's quieter presence makes Minho rethink his own emotional walls. With the tension of finals, football season, and the growing attraction between them, they both struggle with the fear of what a relationship might mean-especially when it comes to their different social circles and the looming expectations of their peers.
Offside Heart is a tender love story about finding the courage to love when it feels like the odds are against you. Through late-night talks, stolen glances at games, and moments of vulnerability, Jisung and Minho will learn that sometimes love doesn't play by the rules, but that's what makes it all the more beautiful.
