My Holo Love
The science fiction romance series My Holo Love follows Ha So-yeon, a woman whose face blindness, or prosopagnosia, leads her to shy away from socializing.

From director Lee Sang-yeop (Yumi’s Cells) and writer Ryu Yong-jae (Parasyte: The Grey), the series stars Yoon Hyun-min (Tunnel), Ko Sung-hee (While You Were Sleeping), and Choi Yeo-jin (Miss Monte-Cristo).
The Silent Sea
