Asher believed in commitment. Savannah believed in keeping her options open. When Savannah suggested they explore an open relationship, Asher agreed-not because he wanted to, but because he was afraid not to. He silenced the growing discomfort inside him, chalking it up to temporary tension. But when he overhears Savannah confessing to a friend that she's no longer in love with him, describing him as nothing more than "safe" and "convenient," the truth hits hard. Instead of confronting her in anger, Asher makes a different choice. He shifts inward. Not to retreat-but to remember who he is. He rebuilds his sense of self from the inside out, reigniting friendships, reconnecting with who he was before the relationship dulled his edges, and slowly forming a deeper bond with someone who sees him for who he truly is. Savannah, watching from the sidelines, begins to realize the weight of what she gave up. Her spiral is quiet but undeniable. Through brutal honesty from those around her and sessions in therapy, she is forced to reckon with the cost of her decisions-and the assumptions that kept her blind. This is a story about what happens when love becomes conditional, when trust is tested, and when one person reclaims the dignity they were once willing to give away for the sake of holding on. It's not about revenge. It's about clarity. Growth. And choosing peace over performance. Told in alternating points of view, this emotionally raw contemporary drama navigates the psychological unraveling of a fractured relationship, the complexity of healing, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away from what no longer serves you.

"Are you really fine?" For Rei Hoshikawa, smiling has become a chore. At 17, she's mastered the art of hiding-behind half-hearted grins, whispered "I'm fines," and the quiet hum of everyday routines.

Enter Kaito Akira, her childhood friend who knows her better than she knows herself. He sees the emptiness in her eyes, the weight of her unspoken words, and the way her laughter rings just a little too hollow. When he confronts her with a simple question one rainy afternoon, Rei is forced to confront the storm she's been burying: What if "fine" is just a lie we tell to survive? The Weight of Smiles is a poignant, achingly relatable story about the masks we wear, the courage it takes to be vulnerable, and the quiet hope that even the heaviest hearts can heal. Set against a backdrop of rustling autumn leaves, rain-soaked streets, and the fragile beauty of fleeting moments, this introspective journey asks: Can someone truly see you when you've forgotten how to be seen? This story doesn't promise easy answers or fairy-tale endings-just the bittersweet comfort of knowing you're not alone in the dark.
