Choice of Choices

『I was more accustomed to giving up and stepping back than to fiercely yearning and colliding.

Until now, I believed that was how I could protect my peaceful everyday life.』

Ji-in, adopted and raised in Italy by wealthy parents, chooses to leave his family and come to Korea alone, unable to bear the weight of a secret from a certain incident.

Four years into his career as an actor in Korea, he visits Bangkok, Thailand, for a photoshoot.

There, a man approaches him, and Ji-in, unusually, accepts his advances.

The man’s expression and gaze from that one-night stand linger in his mind, but Ji-in returns to Seoul, pretending to be indifferent to the stirring of his emotions, as he always has.

However, he unexpectedly encounters the man again…

“I can be pushy, too. I’m just pretending to be well-behaved because I don’t want you to dislike me, Ji-in-ssi.”

The man’s first impression of being experienced wasn’t all there was to him.

Ji-in finds himself drawn to the man who reveals his eagerness not to lose him and pours his heart out…

This is a story about people who sometimes make unwise choices but strive to change for the sake of their loved ones and themselves.

It’s about the countless choices that make up life and the ultimate choice among them.
