Sixteen-year-old Lin Weixing came to Seoul alone with a stage dream and polished himself day and night in the practice room. Endless assessments, fierce competition at the same time, and the exhaustion of digesting alone late at night are the daily experiences that every trainee chasing starlight has experienced.
She met her beloved senior Jiang Siyu. He was so soft-hearted under the dazzling spotlight. He handed her a cup of hot milk when she was feeling depressed at night, which became a rare and gentle comfort in her years in a foreign land.
The road to pursuing her dream was full of ups and downs: she unfortunately missed the opportunity to debut, injured her ankle due to a training accident, and the successive blows made her treasure this rare warmth and slowly develop a deep concern for her. The overly strong feelings gradually turned into uncontrollable obsessions. The two were pulled against each other amidst industry pressure and layers of misunderstandings, and an irreparable gap gradually developed between them.
When Jiang Shiyu fulfilled his obligation to join the army, the two were forced to take a break. The distance allowed each other to see their true feelings clearly. The misunderstandings that had trapped each other in the past were solved one by one, and the sincerity that had been hidden for many years was finally revealed frankly.
The hibiscus that withered in the cold winter will eventually bloom again, and the grand yet full of twists and turns of youth will not end hastily. After a long wait and two-way travel, they overcame all regrets and hardships, held each other's hands, and ushered in a stable and sweet rest of their lives.
Concept: A young girl goes to South Korea alone to pursue her dream, and encounters a gentle starlight in the crowded and impetuous trainee life. The two began to comfort each other at a low point. Amidst the layers of identity differences, rumors and reality, they were separated due to excessive focus and were separated by a long military service. But true preference will never be worn away by hardships. Distance allows people to let go of their emotional paranoia and frankly confess their true feelings that have been hidden for many years.
The story uses the hibiscus flower to fall in winter and spring again to symbolize youth: pain and regret are never the end of love. After surviving suspicion, separation and all the ups and downs on the road to dreaming, those who go in both directions will eventually overcome all worldly obstacles, and can not only complete reconciliation with themselves, but also maintain the long-lasting and perfect love.
