Taking a Summer's Bite

Synopsis

On a scorching summer day, two youths scarred by loss and pain find an unexpected refuge in each other. Yu Chan, burdened by the torment of hearing the thoughts of others, and Ha Jio, struggling with loneliness and the weight of a broken family fate, cross paths by chance. What begins as mere curiosity soon grows into a profound bond that compels them to confront their hidden wounds, unspoken fears, and untold stories. Amid a closed-off village and a world that refuses to understand them, they learn that every choice brings loss—but also the chance for true change. That summer, which they thought would be nothing but painful and scorching, becomes the brightest and most transformative season of their lives: the summer they discover hope and love.
