SYNOPSIS

(Partial Synopsis)

Set between 1992 and the present day in Seoul, the musical unfolds through a dual timeline, where youthful love and loss resurface decades later through memory and coincidence.

In 1992, Ji-wook, a romantic young man who loves poetry and music, falls in love at first sight with Lee-yeon, a mysterious student involved in activism. Alongside them are friends and housemates whose lives are filled with dreams, friendship, and unspoken emotions. However, their youth is disrupted by the harsh realities of the era, leading to separation, tragedy, and unresolved love.

Twenty years later, Ji-wook has become a stage director, while his friends live ordinary lives, having buried their past dreams and relationships. Yet Ji-wook remains unable to forget Lee-yeon.

One day, he encounters a woman in a crowded subway station who resembles her. Though she appears to be a different person, the familiarity triggers memories of the past. As he begins working on a new performance, fragments of memory and hidden truths gradually resurface.

Through the intersection of past and present, the characters are forced to confront long-buried secrets and emotions tied to love, loss, and the passage of time.
