Love Me to Hurt Me

Synopsis

Song runs a jewelry business while carrying unresolved hurt from her relationship with Oh, the woman who left her. When Oh returns, the reunion offers a chance to confront the past, but Song approaches it with revenge rather than an uncomplicated wish to reconcile. Renewed proximity makes that intention difficult to separate from feelings that have not entirely disappeared. The announced romance follows the danger of treating another encounter as an opportunity to recover control over an earlier injury. Punishment and longing can produce similar reasons to keep someone close, even while leading toward very different outcomes. The women must face what happened between them before another relationship can mean anything different, and Song must consider whether causing pain would actually answer the questions that have kept the separation alive.
