Yang Ilwoo and Me

Jang Baek-Hee is marking time in Gicheon, waiting for the day he can leave before his unreliable father is released from prison. His plans are unsettled by the arrival of Yang Il-Woo, a transfer student with a delinquent reputation, an inexpensive perm, brassy hair, and a loneliness that reflects Baek-Hee’s own. What begins as an uneasy friendship gradually softens into something more tender, offering both boys a fragile comfort they never expected. But Il-Woo arrived in Gicheon carrying a secret, one that could destroy the trust growing between them. When the past returns to confront them, two wounded souls must face whether their connection can survive the truth.
