Synopsis
Two brothers compete for their childhood friend/model's love while living together above a Seoul coffee shop.
Chanwoo owns a cozy coffee shop in Seoul, where the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air daily. His younger brother Jungmin has temporarily moved in with him while searching for employment, bringing their close yet complicated relationship back under one roof. Both brothers find themselves drawn to Sung Dayeon, their beautiful childhood friend who has blossomed into a successful model living in the city. As old feelings resurface and new tensions emerge between the siblings, the delicate balance of their relationships begins to shift. In a story where desire, loyalty, and family bonds intertwine like the swirls in a latte, these three lives become increasingly entangled. The bitter and sweet aspects of love prove to be as complex and addictive as the finest espresso, leaving everyone to navigate the dangerous and intoxicating flavors of passion.
