What is the Melo Movie About?

Melo Movie follows the lives of two people- Kim Moo Bi, an assistant director; and Ko Gyeom, an actor turned film critic. He meets Moo Bi during a film and it kickstarts something more than just a professional relationship. But the journey isn’t so easy as the two have a complicated past with each other. 

Previously they met when they were young and reckless, but as the years have gone by, the two have matured beyond their years. Once upon a time they were happy to shoulder all their personal burdens alone and not care what anyone else thought, but now they seek someone to walk their paths with. 

Making matters difficult are the questions about their careers, especially Moo Bi’s, who wants to be like her father, a film crew member. Ko Gyeom will also have to overcome judgment about him changing his career’s gears from an actor to a critic. But together they will inspire each other to overcome their tragedies and rise above.
