Tide of Love

Bound by a contract of desire, art student Hae-jun becomes tied to cold heir Jae-hoon. Between control and temptation, will this transaction turn into forbidden love?

Jae-hoon’s gentle yet coercive control traps Hae-jun between feelings of being cherished and confined, while Hae-jun makes his first bold move to cross the boundaries of their contract.

Hae-jun extends the contract as he struggles between money, dignity, and forbidden temptation. But when a friend begins to bring up suspicions, guilt quietly rises to the surface.

After Hae-jun and Jae-hoon begin dating, they celebrate their first Christmas together. Under Jae-hoon’s carefully planned surprise, the two arrive at a private seaside villa. There, Jae-hoon presents Hae-jun with an anklet—an intimate symbol of devotion and control—asking him to always remain within his sight.

An uninvited visitor, Kang Su-hyeok, suddenly appears and reveals Jae-hoon’s possessive control and the childhood trauma Jae-hoon refuses to confront to Hae-jun. With a third party stepping into their world, will the relationship between Ha-jun and Jae-hoon begin to change?

Ha-jun meets Su-hyeok at a bar, hoping to learn more about Jae-hoon’s past. But when Jae-hoon discovers Ha-jun went out behind his back, his possessiveness spirals out of control. What was once a sweet relationship quickly begins to fall apart.
