TheAnaChapter
In the coastal salt air of Busan, nineteen-year-old Lim Bada has always been an outlier. With her shock of natural red hair and a face full of freckles-the only inheritance from an English father she's never met-she is a living reminder of her mother's scandalous past. Content to spend her days tending to her family's grape farm and losing herself in her sketches, Bada believes her world is only as big as the horizon she can see from the vineyard.
But that horizon shifts the day a moving truck pulls up across the street.
Enter Choi Dae-hyun: aloof, moody, and sporting a bleached-blond mullet that screams "big city trouble." He is everything Bada isn't, and he seems determined to keep his walls up. Yet, as their paths collide, Bada begins to suspect that his cold exterior is just a mask for a soul as restless as her own.
As their final summer begins, the air in Busan grows heavy with more than just heat. Bada must navigate a cutthroat rivalry with her former best friend turned art-class nemesis, Yoo Seo-yeon, while leaning on her literal "boy next door," Park Min-jae, as he struggles to recover from a career-threatening injury.
Before the first leaf falls and the grapes are ready for harvest, four lives will intertwine in ways they never saw coming. In a summer of secrets and second chances, Bada is about to learn that the world has so much more to offer than just the view from her farm-if she's brave enough to look.
