BLACK OCEAN
A rookie K-Pop idol and one of the most popular singers in Korea decide to brave the storm of industry standards, fan expectations, and their mental health – together.
SYNOPSIS
When rookie Korean Pop idol Nari Torres does her first music show, she doesn't expect her performance will reach an audience yet. When Im Hyunwoo, member of popular boy group Heartbeat, goes to his umpteenth music show, he doesn't expect to fall in love at first sight.
Both Nari and Hyunwoo defy each other's expectations.
To say that their love story is easy, however, would be incorrect. Falling in love is easy, but supporting your love is hard. And with Nari having severe anxiety, and Hyunwoo realizing that he may not want to continue his current career trajectory, both have to not just be there for each other, but be there for themselves.
With a little push from their friends, and a lot of pushback from their colleagues, Nari and Hyunwoo will learn exactly what supporting and loving each other means – especially when what the other person's needs may not be your own.
And, with a whole lot of luck, they just might make it work.
