Two South Korean outsiders become unlikely friends, setting them off on a shared journey to overcome adversity and embrace what it means to be different.

Heung-soo is a young gay man who is certain that he will never be able to be open about his sexuality. Least of all to the wild, unconventional Jae-hee. Yet when Jae-hee discovers his secret, she chooses to protect him rather than out him, sparking an intimate and life-long friendship. Together, the two friends navigate the highs and lows of college life, dating, work and society’s prejudices in this decade-spanning vibrant comedy-drama.
