Winter Sonata — Season 1
Haunted by a past he can’t fully grasp, Kang Joonsang transfers to a new high school with one driving purpose: finding his biological father. Meanwhile, Jeong Yoojin and Kim Sanghyeok share a deep bond forged in childhood – a friendship that yearns for something more on Sanghyeok's side, but remains purely brotherly in Yoojin’s eyes.
