Nothing Serious / 연애 빠진 로맨스
Jayeong is 29 years old, unhappy both romantically and professionally. Ever since she broke up with her ex, the loneliness has been unbearable. Her last hope is a dating app.
33year old ‘Woori’ is bold in both love and work, but can’t seem to overcome his last relationship that ended quite a while ago. His editor-in-chief promises him a promotion just to force him to register on the dating app.
This is how they first meet each other on the morning of the Lunar New Year. Woori keeps his real name and his real feelings hidden from Jaeyong.
Even though neither of them expects anything serious from the encounter, they fall for each other right from the start. But it’s not like it’s a relationship. But ‘it’ not being a relationship doesn’t make talking about their feelings any easier. Also, if it’s not a relationship, what is it? Two people looking for new ways, crossing paths.
