## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A neon-lit love hotel room in Seoul somehow becomes a rotating stage for Seoulites’ romantic misadventures, all set within the same four walls and two nightstands. Four unrelated couples check in and out, leaving only receipts and half-earned trust. It’s cozy if you don’t mind watching strangers unpack their emotional luggage in the hallway.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, tender
