Directing
Jang Gi U is a 32-year-old temporary high school teacher. Four years ago, he became the subject of an inappropriate rumor involving a student. As a result, he never took the teacher certification examination and has instead spent the years moving from one contract teaching position to another. Raised in a single-mother household, he grew up constantly hearing that he had to be someone with"no flaws in the eyes of others." He lives as a person who appears flawless, but his life feels dull and unremarkable. At least, that is what everyone says.
Cha Soo Hyuk and Lee Yoon Dae, once close, begin living together after Yoon Dae loses his home. Their cohabitation sparks shifts in their dynamic and emotions.
Nine years after their last encounter, Koo Seung Hyeok and Kwon I Hyeon unexpectedly reunite at Nexus, a nightclub linked to organized crime. Seung Hyeok, now the club manager, confronts I Hyeon, who works in lowly conditions, leading to a series of hostile interactions rooted in past grievances. When I Hyeon’s father is diagnosed with cancer, he reluctantly re-engages with Seung Hyeok under a work and debt agreement. This forced collaboration ignites complex emotions, as hatred and fixation intertwine. As both men grapple with their tumultuous history—Seung Hyeok's contempt and I Hyeon's struggle with vulnerability—they face the choice between continued conflict or an unforeseen future together. ~~ Adapted from the web novel "Winter Season" (동절기) by Iromil (이로밀).
