A Romance of Longing 〽️ 동경의 로맨스

Synopsis

Ha Dong-gyeong, a world-famous top actor, suddenly announces his retirement. Then, he returns to live right across the street from Eun-yoo.

“It’s been a while. You’ve changed quite a bit. A lot, actually. You’ve become quite prickly.”

A reunion with her first love, the person she never wanted to see again, even if it meant dying. The wounds of the past come rushing back.

“I’m just so embarrassed. That I ever liked someone like you.”

She had sworn never to get involved with him again, but the newly appointed executive director turns out to be Ha Dong-gyeong. Damn it…

The two are forced to conduct store inspections together. Eventually, a scandal breaks out. Contrary to expectations, the company’s sales begin to rise, and Dong-gyeong makes an unexpected proposal.

“Seo Eun-yoo is going to have the most enviable romance in the world.”

This is her chance to finally resolve the lingering feelings from fifteen years of unrequited love. Eun-yoo agrees to a contract relationship, and a romance unlike any other with Dong-gyeong begins.

“What do you like, Oppa?”

“Small and cute things.”

“Like you, Seo Eun-yoo.”

As if being a sweet, straightforward romantic weren’t enough…

“Don’t look at another bastard with those eyes. I don’t want you out of my sight, not even for a single second.”

He even plays the role of an obsessively possessive man whose jealousy knows no bounds.

After all, wasn’t he the one who coldly rejected her? Yet this contract relationship feels even more real than reality itself, leaving Eun-yoo completely flustered.

Ha Dong-gyeong, a man with many secrets.

Is his love genuine, or is it all just an act?
