The World of Love (Se-Gye-Ui Ju-In)
Enigmatic 17-year-old high school student Jooin is a cheerful friend, a shameless daughter, a mischievous girlfriend, and a person always hard to predict. But more than anything, Jooin is curious about and baffled by love. One day, some words she says in a fit of anger cause a major scene. Afterwards, she receives anonymous notes questioning her behaviour, and cracks begin to appear in her formerly peaceful world. “Jooin, who is the real you?”
