When the Hibiscus Flowers Have Fallen

Sixteen-year-old Lin Weixing set foot alone in the cold winter of Seoul with his longing for the stage. In the practice room of a Korean agency, the sweat-soaked floor, the smell of instant noodles late at night, and the strict elimination mechanism are the background for her to pursue her dreams. She met the top idol Jiang Shiyu. He was a star in the spotlight, but he handed her a glass of hot milk when she was in the most embarrassing situation and became her only light in the cold winter in a foreign land. From the brutal competition among trainees to the passing of the opportunity to debut, from the despair of a serious ankle injury to the growth of paranoid love, Lin Weixing's youth struggled between dreams and reality. She engraved Jiang Shiyu's name in her heart and weaved their future with almost pious obsession. However, under the pull of misunderstanding and pressure, her love turned into a vine that entangled each other - her possessiveness followed her, and his exhaustion grew day by day. When the news of Jiang Shiyu's enlistment came, and when the rift in trust became irreparable, the fetters that began with a glimmer of light finally took a different path. The hibiscus withers in the cold winter, just like her grand and painful youth. What remains in the memory in the end are the unfinished dance steps on the stage, the uncontrollable tears in the middle of the night, and the relief of learning to reconcile with oneself.
