This story is like slow food. If you don't enjoy slow-cooked meals, you might want to move on to another story. But if that's not the case... Second, set between Barcelona and Seoul, follows Cheong Sara, a Korean engineer raised in Spain who has spent her entire life feeling like she doesn't fully belong anywhere. At thirty, successful but emotionally detached, she returns to South Korea for the first time in a decade, hoping to reconnect with the roots she lost. But Seoul doesn't give her the answers she expects. Instead, she meets Nari, a woman who has rejected the life Sara's parents once fled... and Seon-woo, a reserved publishing CEO whose perfect life hides a quiet emptiness. What begins as a search for identity slowly turns into something deeper-an unexpected journey of love, memory, and second chances. As Sara moves between Barcelona and Seoul, she is forced to confront the parts of herself she has long avoided. Through her relationships and the lives of those around her-each struggling with ambition, illness, intimacy, and family-she begins to understand that becoming someone new often means facing who you used to be. Second is a contemporary emotional romance about identity, distance, and the fragile process of rebuilding yourself in your thirties. It is a story about second chances, quiet resilience, and the invisible threads that tie us to the places and people we try to leave behind.

A mother's past. A father's fear. A child in the middle.

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the chance to gain superpowers and devil fruits when they become adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ..........

Once, they ruled the charts. Now, they fight to save a world they no longer recognize. Set in an alternate modern Seoul, where demons feed off obsession, envy, and fractured dreams, Second Light follows the reformation of "VANTA", a once-legendary 5-member girl group from the 2nd generation of K-pop. Years after their sudden disbandment and the mysterious "meltdown" of their leader on live TV, each member has gone her separate way-some faded into obscurity, others buried in scandals, and one presumed dead. But when strange, otherworldly forces begin manipulating the minds of rising rookie idols-causing psychotic breakdowns and mass hallucinations-VANTA is brought back together, not for a reunion tour, but for war. Their voices, born from the pain, love, and rebellion of youth, hold ancient power passed down from forgotten Gisaengs (Korean spiritual entertainers). Only together can they unlock the "Second Light," a forbidden harmony capable of purging corrupted souls and battling a demon known as Eochan, the Collector of Fallen Stars.
