Tide of Love - Season 1 (2025)

Bound by a contract of desire, art student Hae-jun becomes tied to cold heir Jae-hoon. Between control and temptation, will this transaction turn into forbidden love?

Jae-hoon’s gentle yet coercive control traps Hae-jun between feelings of being cherished and confined, while Hae-jun makes his first bold move to cross the boundaries of their contract.

Hae-jun extends the contract as he struggles between money, dignity, and forbidden temptation. But when a friend begins to bring up suspicions, guilt quietly rises to the surface.

Jae-hoon’s growing need for control leads him to monitor Hae-jun’s interactions with his friend. When Hae-jun tries to resist, Jae-hoon traps him in an almost forceful embrace…

Jae-hoon barges into Hae-jun’s classroom to claim him, tossing aside a gift from a friend before pulling him away. In an empty classroom, he pins Hae-jun against the wall and gives him a warning.

Under Jae-hoon’s strict cohabitation rules, Hae-jun is punished for coming home late but soon he’s met with Jae-hoon’s kiss.

It was the first time in Jae-hoon's life someone celebrated his birthday; Hae-jun's promise, like the sweetest spell, bound him tightly.

Jae-hoon commands Hae-jun to repeatedly write his own name. From body to mind, he is determined to completely possess everything about Hae-jun.

When the hospital sends critical information regarding Hae-jun’s mother, he is overwhelmed with pain. Jae-hoon promises to stay by his side, no matter what.

Jae-hoon and Hae-jun agree a new contract —this time, a romance contract. Its terms are simple: “Say ‘I love you’ three times a day—once in the morning, once at noon, and once before bed.”
