"Love in the Mist" follows Ji-ah, a 27-year-old art history student from Seoul, who moves to the small, picturesque town of St. Ives in Cornwall, England, to escape the pressures of her corporate life. Seeking peace and self-discovery, she takes a part-time job at a charming yet slightly rundown bookstore café owned by Oliver, a quiet, intellectual man in his early 30s. As Ji-ah settles into her new life, she quickly forms a deep connection with Oliver. They bond over their shared love of books, art, and quiet moments, and she finds comfort in his steady presence and understanding nature. However, things become complicated when Ethan, a charismatic and spontaneous photographer, moves to town. His boldness and adventurous spirit immediately draw Ji-ah in, and the two share a magnetic attraction that leaves her torn. Unlike Oliver, who is emotionally reserved, Ethan challenges Ji-ah in ways she never expected, pushing her out of her comfort zone and into a world of passion and excitement. As their connection deepens, Ji-ah's feelings for Ethan intensify, igniting a whirlwind romance filled with late-night strolls, spontaneous trips, and undeniable chemistry. While Ji-ah is caught up in Ethan's fiery presence, Oliver becomes increasingly aware of the growing tension between the two. His subtle gestures of affection-helping Ji-ah with small things at work and walking her home after late shifts-begin to show his deeper feelings, though he remains quiet and patient. As the emotional stakes rise, Ji-ah finds herself caught between the two men: Oliver, who represents stability and deep emotional connection, and Ethan, who offers passion and a life of adventure. The love triangle reaches its peak when Ethan openly confronts Oliver, making his intentions clear while Oliver quietly withdraws, giving Ji-ah space to make her decision. In the end, after much emotional turmoil, Ji-ah realizes that her heart craves more than fleeting passion. She chooses Oliver, the man who has always been there for her, whose steady love and quiet strength offer the depth and commitment she ultimately desires. "Love in the Mist" is a story of love, self-discovery, and the choices we must make when torn between safety and passion.
JI-AH POV.
I'm finally here. I never thought this would actually happen, but here I am-sitting in a cozy cottage in St. Ives, Cornwall, a steaming cup of tea warming my hands as I watch the soft, steady snowfall outside my window. The world is quiet, muffled by the thick blanket of white that's gently covering the cobblestone streets. The soft flurry of snowflakes, drifting like little pieces of magic, seems to erase everything. The past, the trauma, the weight of everything I've left behind-all of it is covered in this quiet stillness, as clean and pure as a blank canvas. And for the first time in years, I feel...relieved.
Relieved from the suffocating grip of my old life, from the anxiety that hung over me like a shadow. From the pressure of deadlines, the unrelenting routine, the unbearable noise of a world that didn't let me breathe. For the first time, I feel as though I can finally exhale.
It's surreal, almost dreamlike, sitting here like this. A little cottage tucked away in a sleepy corner of Cornwall, the gentle hum of Lana Del Rey's haunting voice floating through the air. Her songs have always resonated with me, and tonight, her melancholic melodies match my mood perfectly. There's a kind of peace here, a tranquility I haven't known in years.
I moved here just a month ago from Seoul, South Korea. The transition still feels fresh, like the ink on my old life's chapter hasn't quite dried yet. I was a cog in the machine, a corporate drone working at a soul-sucking company, where every day bled into the next in an endless grind. The fluorescent lights of the office, the constant pressure to deliver more, do better, be faster-none of it ever gave me a chance to breathe, let alone think about anything I actually cared about. There was no time for books, no time to paint, no time for anything except the constant rush. And that was supposed to be success, right? A climb up the ladder. But with every rung I ascended, I lost more of myself, and it was a loss I couldn't keep ignoring.
Leaving Seoul took a lot of courage. A lot of saving. And more than anything, a leap of faith. Faith that there was something more than the life I was living-something quieter, slower, and filled with possibility. I've never been the type to live without a plan, but for once, I took a chance, believing I could create something better, something more in tune with who I really am.
St. Ives, with its cobblestone streets and charming, old-world vibe, captured my heart the moment I saw it. It felt like a place where I could rediscover myself, a town that could become my canvas. The slow rhythm of life here, the warmth of the people, the ever-present sea breeze-it's everything I'd longed for.
But there's still one thing I need to figure out: a job. I'm not naïve enough to think I can live in this little dream forever without some kind of income. I'm no heiress; I can't afford to simply exist in my bubble. I'll need to work, but not in the way I did before. No more suits, no more boardrooms. I've thought about maybe working in a coffee shop or, if I'm brave enough, selling some of my art on the streets. I'm not sure yet, but I'll figure it out. I have to.
For tonight, though, I'll let myself be. The snow is falling heavier now, and the world outside is slowly disappearing beneath the white blanket. The comforting hum of Lana's voice fills the room, and it's time to start a new tradition-pasta, wine, and 27 Dresses, my favorite comfort movie. I can't help but smile. It's simple, it's peaceful, and for the first time in a long time, it feels like enough.
Ah, c'est la vie. This is the beginning of something new, something I've always dreamed of. And now, here I am, living it.
