First Time

In the heart of Seoul's bustling entertainment district, Kim Hong Soo, a celebrated screenwriter known for tear-jerking soap operas, finds himself creatively stagnant. Enter Jeong Dae Man, a brilliant but reclusive writer whose raw, unfiltered prose has captured Hong Soo's attention. Eager to collaborate, Hong Soo invites Dae Man to his office for a meeting that quickly transcends professional boundaries. As they discuss storytelling, passion, and the art of capturing human emotion, an unspoken tension simmers between them. This short, intimate film captures a single afternoon where two creative souls collide—where vulnerability meets ambition, and quiet longing meets the courage to express it. With delicate cinematography and nuanced performances, 'First Time' is a poignant exploration of connection, inspiration, and the fragility of opening one's heart, all set against the backdrop of the narrative craft that defines their lives.
