Underneath the Surface

Set against the backdrop of Seoul's prestigious Hirai Law Firm, "Underneath the Surface" is a nuanced love story that unfolds slowly, exploring the transition from rivalry and hidden attraction to an undeniable romance between Dahyun and Momo. As the two women navigate their contrasting personalities within the high-pressure environment, they find themselves caught in a slow-burning tension that challenges their preconceived notions about each other and addresses the intricate complexities of identity, including Dahyun's experience as an intersex individual.

The story begins with Momo and Dahyun as contentious forces within Hirai Law. While Momo revels in asserting control over the environment, Dahyun's lighthearted defiance brings a spark of life to their tense interactions. Each day at the office is filled with subtle glances and unspoken tension, manifesting in a hidden sexual attraction that neither woman is willing to acknowledge or confront.
