Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

When calm, confident Yohan Park —a rising star in Seoul’s world of dancing—agrees to a blind date, he expects polite small talk and an early goodbye. Instead, he finds himself waiting beneath a shower of pink petals for someone he never imagined he would be able to meet and date

Maya Cooper is used to making people laugh. Onstage, her quick wit and bold jokes hide the fact that offstage, she’s awkward at times, guarded, and hopelessly timid when it comes to love. A TV comedian with a big heart and a few insecurities, Maya almost cancels the date—until she decides to give love a second chance.

When their eyes meet under the cherry blossom tree, two worlds collide: his of graceful strength, hers of laughter masking a lonely heart. Over coffee, stolen glances, and secrets shared beneath falling petals, they discover that love doesn’t follow a script—it surprises, stumbles, and dances to its own quiet rhythm.

In a city that never sleeps, Seoul is a beautiul landscape for a first date. Can a ballerino’s steady calm and a comedian’s hidden tenderness turn an ordinary blind date into the start of something extraordinary?

This is a tender, clean, interracial love story about opening up, slowing down, and letting your heart be seen—even if it’s for the very first time.
