Synopsis

In this modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, a librarian and the CEO of the largest Korean grocery chain must overcome their first impressions to discover that the last person on earth you want to be with might be the one person you can't be without.

Librarian Iseul Bae believes in hard work, loyalty, and building a life on her own terms. CEO William Park has spent his life meeting expectations he never set for himself. When their paths collide in Los Angeles' Koreatown, it is the farthest thing from love at first sight. To Iseul, William is aloof and entitled. To William, Iseul is judgmental, guarded, and impossible to read.
As their lives continue to intersect in unexpected ways, those first impressions begin to shift. Iseul begins to see the consideration and quiet responsibility beneath William's reserve, not to mention how distractingly attractive he is. William is drawn to Iseul's steadiness, care for others, and a sharp wit he can't seem to ignore. They start to recognize something rare in one another: the possibility of being chosen for who they are, not who they are expected to be.
Romantic, witty, and rich with yearning, this modern Pride and Prejudice retelling delivers sharp banter, emotional depth, and a deeply satisfying slow burn.
