The story, without the spoilers.
Seoul, 1987. South Korea is under military rule, and students are marching in the streets for democracy. Eun Yeong-ro is a bright university freshman who falls in love at first sight with Lim Soo-ho, a charming graduate student she meets at a mixer. Then Soo-ho stumbles into her women's dormitory one night, covered in blood, and Yeong-ro hides him in her room. She thinks he is a student protester on the run from the police. The truth is far more dangerous: Soo-ho is a North Korean agent on a secret mission, and the men hunting him include South Korea's own security agency, which has plans of its own. As soldiers surround the dormitory and the students inside become hostages in a political game, Yeong-ro must decide how far she will go for a man she barely knows, and Soo-ho must decide whether his mission matters more than the people caught in it. Romantic, tense, and deeply divisive, this is a love story set inside one of the most painful chapters of modern Korean history.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
