12 parts Complete Falling in love is never simple, especially when age becomes a defining factor. For a 28-year-old man to develop feelings for a 17-year-old girl, the world is quick to judge. With such a significant age gap, people often assume the worst. They whisper that it must be about lust, convenience, or even money-rarely do they believe it could be about something as genuine and fragile as love.
This is the story of Elena, a 17-year-old girl who thought her summer in her mother's quiet province would be nothing more than a break from the city and a chance to reconnect with nature. Surrounded by the peaceful rhythm of life in Leyte, she expected nothing but serenity. But everything changed when she crossed paths with Duke Park-a 28-year-old American-Korean idol who had flown to the Philippines not for work, but to escape the suffocating pressure of his high-profile job in a Korean entertainment company.
Their worlds were vastly different. Elena was young, brave, sarcastic, and curious about life. Duke, on the other hand, had already seen too much of it-jaded by fame, exhausted by expectations, and simply looking for a place to breathe. Despite the odds, something unexplainable began to grow between them.
What will happen to Elena and Duke's relationship?
Will it bloom into something real-or will it wither under the harsh light of reality?
