Teenage Love Trauma
Lee Hong Ju is a woman who has experienced the sweetness of teenage love, but also faced the bitterness of heartbreak. At first, she was just an avid fan, but who would have thought that her love with Bang Jun Ho (played by Yun Ji On), a novelist, would leave a wound that would never heal. Their relationship, which began when Hong Ju was still in high school, ended in a deep breakup. This trauma makes Hong Ju skeptical about love, even after many years have passed. However, when Kang Hoo Young suddenly reappears in her life, Hong Ju is forced to face old memories and long pent-up feelings.
Love that Doesn’t Fade
Lee Hong Ju and Kang Hoo Young meeting after 10 years is not something ordinary. For Hoo Young, Hong Ju is his first love since high school that cannot be forgotten. Although time passes and distance separates Hoo Young and his first love, the feeling never fades. Is this meeting really fate or just a coincidence that brings them back into each other’s lives? Serendipity’s Embrace explores how luck and fate play a role in their surprising love story.
Love Triangle
Hong Ju is faced with a big dilemma when Jun Ho, her old love, reappears and asks her to be a producer for an animation adaptation of his novel. At first, Hong Ju refuses because she doesn’t want to bring up old wounds. However, when they are required to work on a project together, Hong Ju’s feelings start to get mixed up. On the other hand, Hoo Young, who has been waiting for an opportunity to show his feelings for Hong Ju, feels jealous of Hong Ju and Jun Ho’s closeness.
Between Friends and Love
Kim Hye Ji (played by Kim Dasom), Hong Ju’s best friend, liked Hoo Young when they were in high school. But unfortunately, Hye Ji never dared to confess her feelings. When they finally meet again, Hye Ji quickly realizes that Hoo Young has deep feelings for Hong Ju. In the midst of this awkward situation, Hye Ji has to choose; does she support her best friend despite her own heartache? With Hye Ji always putting their friendship first, she tries to hide her pain and support Hong Ju’s happiness, even if it means sacrificing her own feelings.
Move On Quickly
The decision to move on is not easy, but Hye Ji realizes that her life cannot stop just because of unrequited love. In the process of moving on, Hye Ji began to open her heart to a new love. Slowly, she feels an attraction to Son Kyung Taek (played by Hwang Sung Bin), who has secretly liked Hye Ji. He gives her the chance to fall in love again and forget her heartache. This decision not only helps Hye Ji heal her heart, but also brings new hope to her life with a lighter heart and more peaceful feelings.
