The Perfect Lie: Meet Kang Ji Sun
Seo Hyun Jin plays Kang Ji Sun, an elementary school librarian living a peaceful life. After a perfect first date with Min Joon Ho (Yoo Yeon Seok), who makes her feel a flutter of excitement for the first time in a long while, she gets caught up in an unexpected incident.
Why Surfing Matters?
In the new stills, Ji Sun gazes silently at the waves, mounts her surfboard, and walks out of the water soaked while carrying the heavy board. Her blank expression raises plenty of questions.
Surfing is a key device in the story. Ji Sun wears a warm smile around children, but she carries the scars of losing her parents early. The hobby becomes an escape where she can temporarily set down the weight of her heart and feel truly alive.
