Three people who work in a department store. Mi Jung works on the floor and tries not to meet anyone's eye; she is used to hiding herself. Yo Han works in the car park of the same store, listens to rock and loves old romantic films; he takes life lightly. Kyeong Rok is a young man who has given up on his dream and has just started there. He begins to feel something for Mi Jung. As the three come closer their separate loneliness is tested. Lee Jong-pil directs. Ko Ah-sung plays Mi Jung, Byun Yo-han plays Yo Han and Moon Sang-min plays Kyeong Rok. The source is a novel by Park Min-kyu. The novel is about being valued by appearance, and it takes its name from Ravel's piano piece; the title reached the film along that road. It was released on Netflix on 20 February 2026. The tone stands away from the lightness common in Korean romantic drama; the relationship is built not as a rescue but as two people managing to see each other. Ko Ah-sung's part is played as a matter of bearing rather than physical transformation: the character is described by how she carries herself. Who it is for: viewers who like Korean melodrama and literary adaptations. Who it is not for: the pace is slow, the emotional emphasis is high, and the narrative moves inside a familiar shape.
