Where the Weary Birds Return
Actor x researcher
The leads won't marry, have children, make their relationship public, or flaunt their affection.
A lot of little, everyday stories.
Striving to get ahead is a good quality, but only when it benefits a group. Individuals striving to get ahead can help the group progress. But for the individual, getting ahead doesn't necessarily bring happiness. Many people lose the ability to survive as ordinary people in the process. Once they're pushed out of the top tier, they turn on themselves first.
The industries these two work in still demand that they strive to get ahead. But by now, they've learned to be kinder to themselves.
Female lead: “When investing in stocks, I can cut my losses before I lose everything. But with marriage, choosing the wrong person could get me killed.”
Male lead: “I only provide my work, whether it's films or TV shows. She only needs to contribute her professional value to society. Neither of us has to meet anyone else's expectations about our private lives.”
Theme: Birds soar through the clouds, but their nest is here. They return to a warm harbor and enjoy a sweet dream.
