Two girls in a small town discover each other in the space between who they're supposed to be and who they actually are. The show doesn't rush them into grand declarations, it lives in the quiet moments where falling in love feels like the most natural thing in the world, like breathing in summer air. The animation holds its breath with them, treating their hands finding each other or a shared look across a room like the biggest event that will ever happen. It ends before they get their happy ending, which hurts exactly the way it's supposed to. This show is built for people who understand that sometimes the realest part of love is the part before you know if it survives.
In a small town in Korea, two eighteen-year-old girls named Suyi and Yi-gyeong fall in love. As their time at school draws to an end, they share a hope of relocating to Seoul together once they graduate. This seven-episode ONA is a quiet romance and slice-of-life drama about young love and the future two people picture for themselves. The episodes were later edited together into a film that opened in theaters on June 7, 2023.
