The Ideal Relationship

The Ideal Relationship

Finished

호형호제

Lee Sanghwa, a shy college student, has carried a secret crush for years on his best friend Soo Ryeohan, whose effortless charm and popularity only deepen Sanghwa's feelings of inadequacy. Seeking an escape from a reality that seems to orbit around Ryeohan, Sanghwa immerses himself in an online multiplayer game, where he plays under the avatar 'Idealize.'

There, he forms an unexpected and genuine friendship with a kind, somewhat awkward healer player named 'thegreatmirae.' Unbeknownst to Sanghwa, his online confidant is Kwon Eegum, a real-life gangster whose cold exterior masks a deep longing for authentic connection. As their virtual bond grows, Sanghwa's quest for independence leads him toward a fateful real-world meeting that could redefine his understanding of friendship and love.
