If you’re looking for a heartwarming remedy for the winter season, then the Korean drama ‘Half of Half,’ starring Din Hae-in and Chae Soo-bin, is definitely your go-to choice! Since its premiere in 2020, this drama has become synonymous with ‘winter adaptation dramas’ due to its warm, delicate story and healing atmosphere. Centered around the meeting and healing journey of AI engineer Ha Won (Din Hae-in) and classical music recording engineer Han Rui-yu (Chae Soo-bin), the drama not only delivers a heartwarming love story but also incorporates modern humanistic care combined with artificial intelligence.
‘Half of Half’ features a unique and innovative storyline. The male lead, Ha Won, is an outstanding engineer in the field of artificial intelligence, mainly working on AI systems to assist patients with psychological or mental illnesses.
Meanwhile, the female lead, Rui-yu, is a recording engineer with a great passion for classical music. As they gradually draw closer due to their respective work and unfortunate life experiences, they embark on a journey of mutual understanding and support, filled with ‘mutual healing.’ They are not only each other’s healers but also each other’s pillars of support—every lonely night becomes much warmer as long as they live in each other’s company.
