bittersweet dancing


Yuae, after abandoning her career as a dancer due to her father in law's wishes and entering a less-than-ideal marriage with Kyungho, finds herself unhappy in her marital life. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she receives a message from an enigmatic man on social media. Initially dismissing the message, Yuae gradually becomes intrigued by the person who treats her with respect. Eventually, she starts dancing again, rediscovering her lost sense of self and falling for the mysterious man. As their relationship deepens, conflicts arise between Yuae and Kyungho. Determined to meet her newfound connection, Yuae embarks on a journey to meet the man in person. But when she finally meets him, he disappears, leaving her devastated and stripped of everything. Despite her losses, Yuae finds the strength to rebuild her life and continues to move forward with a newfound sense of identity and purpose.
