But after this auspicious start, he fell into a slump. He is now listless and unsure if he is really cut out to be a top movie director after all. One day, he is reunited with Seong Wu Jae (Kang Jun Kyu), a famous fiction writer who he once knew – but has not spoken to since an acrimonious misunderstanding. Wu Jae also has demons, however.

Will this relationship heal Wu Jae’s wounds – and lift Yeon Wu out of his slump? “Individual Circumstances” is a 2023 South Korean drama series that was directed by director Kim Jin Yeol.
