What force sets the confines of a soulmate?
Are we limited to find love only in those around us, that share our same beliefs and interests?
Or are we destined for more?
Perhaps a soulmate is meant to be your opposite; for in their shortcomings and weaknesses lie your greatest strengths.
That cataclysmic union is forever joined by a reckoning of its own -- the differences between enemies run deep: their ideals skewed. Put plainly, that type of contrast can only come with consequences.
But in the end, after all is said and done, you'll find that it was those moments of pure, unadulterated passion that brought you true purpose in life. Tested beyond belief and pushed to every limit imaginable, you were just that: challenged.
Luckily, though, the best kind of love isn't always meant to be easy.
For Roseanne Park and Y/N Seok, this discovery hit them in full force, compelling them to face their demons and biases -- together.
All they knew is that after they came into each other's lives, neither of them would ever be the same again.
