One Shared Umbrella, Zero Good Manners
Min Ji-soo builds life around order. An ambitious urban planner who lives by spreadsheets and structural integrity, she's dedicated her career to protecting Seoul's ancient heart. Her past is a painful lesson in chaos; her future is perfectly mapped. Han Tae-joon lives for disruption. A brilliant, arrogant architect whose designs are pure, kinetic spectacle, he thrives on risk and believes tradition is just history waiting to be improved. Their paths crossed once on a disastrous blind date-a fiery 98 minutes that left them with mutual, permanent revulsion.
Now, their fates are disastrously entwined.
Ji-soo's career-defining project-a historic Christmas market in the Seo-Ri district-has been assigned a creative design lead: Han Tae-joon. Forced into a high-stakes, high-visibility partnership, they must somehow create a flawless vision for Seoul's Christmas centerpiece. Every shared blueprint is a battlefield; every argument crackles with forbidden chemistry.
When a sudden winter downpour forces them under one shared umbrella, the six-centimeter personal space rule Ji-soo enforces is broken, and the line between professional antagonism and desperate, electric attraction starts to melt away. But as they begin to realize their opposing minds form a perfect, terrifying synergy, an unseen enemy-a Ghost Architect known only as 'The Catalyst'-begins a campaign of sabotage, targeting Tae-joon's work and threatening to dismantle not just the project, but the vulnerable foundations of their newly built trust.
Can they survive the cold reality of betrayal, or will their fragile architectural romance collapse under the pressure of a Christmas deadline? The only structure more at risk than the market is the one they're desperately trying not to build: a life together.
