It centers on environments that blend private vulnerability with public performance, highlighting how space can test loyalties and personal choices.

🪞 Identity

Joo-yeon's menopause and aging threaten her crafted persona, forcing a reevaluation of what truly defines her. Ambition, vanity, and authenticity collide as she seeks stability beyond public admiration.
