By Chance

Woo Hyun is a Korean man, and Haruka is a Japanese woman. They live different lives, but they both carry emotional scars from their first love. While looking for answers and hope, their fateful encounter will change their lives. It started with one message… Haruka, a stage actress in Seoul, has been in a slump ever since she broke up with her first love. She cannot forget him and keeps sending messages that go unread on LINE. Despite her emotional hurt, Haruka wants to believe in love. In Tokyo, Woo Hyun, an aspiring movie director, keeps on doing interviews concerning “love”. After being deeply hurt by his girlfriend, who thought about getting married, he no longer believes in love. Haruka and Woo Hyun have both grown timid of love. The two of them, who live apart in Tokyo and Seoul, have a chance encounter because of a LINE message delivered to Woo Hyun’s smartphone from Haruka. They exchange messages without knowing each other’s faces and are drawn to each other before they realise it

It’s said that around 90,000 people go missing in Japan each year, and even overseas this phenomenon is known as “johatsu.” Burdened with worries, some young people deliberately choose to disappear from society, cutting ties with their current lives and erasing their personal information through “yonige-ya” (night movers) or “disappearance brokers.” Against this backdrop, a young man from Singapore comes to Japan and, together with his companions, struggles to rescue a missing girl — a “boy meets girl” story born from the shadows of disappearance.
