Back Where the Heart Belongs

Exhausted by city life, Haerang retreats to his grandmother’s countryside village, a place filled with childhood memories. There, he reunites with Miro, a special friend from his past. Despite facing the villagers’ excessive curiosity and the strange alienation from local youth, Haerang is determined to reconnect. He patiently works to bridge the distance with Miro, who remains hesitant and fearful. Each carries their own burdens—Haerang faces prejudice for his perceived weakness and long hair, while Miro grapples with the scars of discrimination as a mixed-race child. Alongside other young people like Daeseok and Ok-hee, who also endure societal rejection, they find solace in one another. This is a story of healing, as they learn to support each other and overcome their shared struggles.
