A Study In Shadows

You never expected Seoul to feel like both home and a battlefield. As an international psychology student at Seoul National University, you spend your days buried in textbooks, pulling shifts at a small coffee shop and volunteering as a mental health mentor for struggling youth across the city. Life isn't easy, but it's yours and you are determined to make it mean something. Until one ordinary afternoon changes everything. When a quiet stranger with sharp eyes notices your studies. What begins as a fleeting glance spirals into something far deeper than you ever imagined. Drawn into the shadows of fame and the unspoken battles behind the stage lights, you find yourself entangled in a story of resilience, vulnerability and truths that were never meant to surface. This isn't just a love story. It's a journey through secrets, scars and the thin line between saving others and saving yourself.
