Merry Merry Match

Twenty-nine-year-old Hee-Rim never expected to cross paths with Park Gun again, especially not after he had fallen into the dangerous life of a gangster. They now inhabit entirely different worlds, yet they share something profound: the same scars. Because he bears those identical marks, he is the one person who could never bring himself to hate her. When they reunite, old wounds and unspoken feelings surface. Park Gun sees through her defenses, pointing out that while she pretends not to care about her scars, they weigh on her more than she admits. For Hee-Rim, the pain runs deep—the person she once loved despised the scars on her face, leaving her guarded and isolated behind the sturdy emotional walls she built to protect herself. Despite the vast distance their lives have taken, their shared history binds them together. They lost years to separate struggles, but that common past becomes the very reason Park Gun manages to step inside Hee-Rim’s fortress once more. Driven by a lingering hope that there might still be a chance for them, he reaches out across the divide. After ten long years at a complete standstill, the frozen time between them finally begins to move again, offering both a fragile opportunity to heal and reconnect.
