Swim in the Scent

Synopsis

The cutting words of Lee Seok-jun’s first love during his school days left a scar that still follows him into adulthood. His fear of intimacy and emotional distance have turned breakups into a recurring theme in his life.

One night, while venting about yet another failed relationship at a bar with friends, Seok-jun crosses paths with Yae Ji-hoo—a notorious bar regular with a reputation for living like a gigolo.

Enticed by Ji-hoo’s bold offer of a "crash course in adult technique," Seok-jun narrowly escapes an awkward situation just in time.

But Ji-hoo’s wounded pride refuses to let the matter rest. When he learns that Seok-jun works as a swimming instructor, Ji-hoo begins plotting an elaborate revenge scheme.

“I don’t care if it’s love or not. I just need to see him beg.”
