Another drama by Off-Gun, of course here I am… Let’s discuss drama…
The story follows Jira, a struggling artist who feels lost, exhausted, and disconnected from the world. At his lowest point, his friend Ing suggests he visit the Burnout Bar—a quiet refuge for people worn down by life.
The bar has a simple rule: you can either sit alone or be matched with a companion by the bartender. That’s how Jira meets Pheem, a warm, gentle IT specialist who listens without judgment. Pheem quickly becomes Jira's source of comfort. Pheem turns into Jira’s “safe space” and eventually falls deeply in love with him, hoping to help him heal.
Later, Ing offers Jira a job as a dinner companion (escort). Reluctant at first, but desperate for money, Jira accepts. The job goes terribly wrong—but his bold and fiery reaction catches the attention of Koh, a wealthy yet emotionally distant businessman who happens to witness the scene.
Intrigued by Jira’s personality, Koh offers him an unusual arrangement. He wants to hire Jira—not as a lover, but as a stand-in. To attend social events, business dinners, any situation that drains him. Koh can’t face them anymore.
As they spend more time together, their purely professional relationship slowly evolves into something more personal. Both men, in their own ways, are dealing with burnout—and through each other, they begin to rediscover pieces of themselves they thought were lost.
This creates the central conflict: Jira is torn between Pheem, who offers him gentle, unconditional love, and Koh, who challenges him to reignite his passion and sense of self.
Ultimately, the story explores emotional exhaustion and the healing power of connection, showing how even the most burned-out souls can help each other find their spark again.
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.
What I like:
+ Quite different from all GMMTV dramas. This is quite heavy. But I really like it…
+ Off-Gun chemistry never disappointed us…
Don’t know if I like it or not. But the way Jira just choose Koh is kinda trigger something for me… ^^
Overall this is quite worth your time to watch…
