Premise

Audrey (Moon Choi), a Korean American woman in her 30s, returns to her parents' home following her mother's car accident. There, she encounters Eli (Son Suk-ku), the man responsible for the crash. Despite their differing backgrounds, the two bond over their shared histories of childhood trauma and the cultural weight of "han" (deep-seated resentment and sorrow), forming an unlikely romantic connection.[1]
