Young couple Kyung-hak (Kwon Da-ham) and Hye-jin (Kwon So-hyun) are in love and deeply committed to each other as they prepare to take on the challenges of early adulthood. Kyung-hak is studying to become a police officer. Hye-jin is pursuing her dream job of working for the government’s tourism board. In everything, they place their relationship first, but life throws them a hurdle when Kyung-hak’s mother defaults on a $20,000 loan, which he as the co-signer is obliged to pay back. The couple is now faced with the first of what will be many difficult choices brought on by financial hardship. Director Oh Seong-ho’s debut feature about a relationship under pressure is made vivid by the performances of Kwon Da-ham and Kwon So-hyun (a former member of K-pop group 4Minute) as the stressed but sympathetic couple.
