Jung-woo works as a director of adult films and has spent ten years in the industry, driven by his love of cinema. He initially entered the field hoping to pursue real storytelling but became stuck making erotic content. His bed-ridden father is openly unhappy with his career choice, creating family tension.

Former child actress Eun-soo moves back to Korea to pursue acting and ends up renting Jung-woo's apartment due to a fake listing. She is forced to room with him while her affairs are sorted. This awkward living arrangement sets the stage for their evolving relationship.

Eun-soo discovers Jung-woo is a screenwriter in addition to his director role in porn. She finds his dream project screenplay, 'An Officer and A Nurse,' in his office. The revelation shifts their dynamic and fuels budding feelings between them.

Unaware of his true profession, Eun-soo accidentally attends a porn open casting at Jung-woo's office. He helps her by guiding her to real audition calls and coaching her monologues. Their collaboration strengthens their bond as they spend more time together.

As they work together, their bond deepens and feelings begin to surface. After Eun-soo finally lands a role, she decides to thank Jung-woo by gifting him a projector, symbolizing his influence on her career. Their collaboration proves productive and personal, blurring professional and romantic lines.

When Eun-soo returns home with the projector, she discovers a steamy silhouette at the door, signaling that Jung-woo had brought his porn crew home for budget-related reshoots. Feeling betrayed and used, she abruptly disappears from his life. The incident forces Jung-woo to confront the consequences of his choices.

Jung-woo sinks into a bar and laments what went wrong, the mood changing as the city around him seems to shift. The narrative also shows Eun-soo's rise to fame and growing popularity, highlighting the distance between them. The bar scene marks a turning point for both their careers.

Jung-woo and his crew finally find the courage to quit the porn industry and commit to producing 'An Officer and A Nurse' together. They decide to pursue legitimate filmmaking, betting on their dreams rather than the revenue from adult cinema. This marks a hopeful reset in their professional lives.

Eun-soo and Jung-woo reconcile after clearing the misunderstanding and recommit to working on the dream project. They begin collaborating openly, combining her acting ambitions with his screenwriting and directing. The emotional rift heals as trust returns to their partnership.

Paparazzi uncover the on-set romance, prompting Jung-woo to hold a press conference. He denounces any personal romance but refuses to renounce his past work, clarifying his artistic journey. His father, initially skeptical, gives his blessing to pursue the dream.

The film's production advances to the festival circuit, landing in a small Busan community film festival on the same day Eun-soo's new film premieres. The crew receives an invitation from the assistant director and hurries to the festival screenings. Media trails as Eun-soo rushes to the screening, eager to see the completed project.

At the festival, Jung-woo finally confesses his love to Eun-soo and they embrace, solidifying their personal and professional partnership. The moment signals a new era for both of them as they move forward.

An Officer and A Nurse is accepted into major film festivals, and the crew finds mainstream success both at home and abroad. The film's journey mirrors the couple's growth from secrecy to recognition.
