In the opening episode, Woo Soo-bin arrives back in Korea determined to honor the promise he once made to Ju Yi-jae about collaborating on a film project.

Despite his enthusiasm, Ju Yi-jae responds with visible frustration and emotional distance.

The new stills highlight a shift in Woo Soo-bin’s approach as he fixes a much deeper, more sincere gaze upon Ju Yi-jae. This intense eye contact occurs at an incredibly close distance, creating an atmosphere thick with unspoken feelings and lingering tension. Such visuals effectively tease the evolving complexity of their relationship moving forward.
