Description: Jun-ho, a freelance photographer, values his independence, especially in his relationships with women, as he avoids any form of commitment. While working on an assignment for a magazine, he encounters Eun-ji, a woman he had previously met through a dating app. Despite having spent a night together, Eun-ji acts as if she doesn’t know him. The two maintain an “open” relationship, and since Eun-ji is also seeing someone with a more stable position, Jun-ho doesn’t push for a closer bond. Caught somewhere between friends and lovers, they oscillate between moments of passionate affection and cold indifference. This romantic comedy-drama explores the lives of young Koreans who go to great lengths to evade responsibility in their personal lives and relationships, often choosing friendship over love.
