A masterpiece shouldn't have a heartbeat. But Lee Da-in just painted one.
Buried under the crushing weight of a corporate design job and a decade-long creative block, Lee Da-in has forgotten how to see in color. But after one too many drinks and a desperate need to save face in front of her arrogant boss, she spins a wild lie: she has a perfect, world-traveling "first love" waiting for her at home.
The problem? She just painted him into existence.
Enter Yoo Hwan. With eyes the color of a Deep Ultramarine sea and a soul made of wet pigment and child-like wonder, he is everything Da-in ever dreamed of-literally. But Yoo Hwan doesn't know how to use a smartphone, thinks strawberries are a form of currency, and has a dangerous habit of blurring when it rains.
As the corporate walls close in and her boss, Min Tae-oh, becomes obsessed with exposing the "fraud," Da-in finds herself in a race against time and reality. To keep her masterpiece alive, she'll have to learn that love isn't about perfect lines and polished finishes-it's about the messy, beautiful blur of being human.
In a world of spreadsheets and gray scales, can a woman who has lost her spark protect a man made of nothing but light and paint?
