Eun-Ji is 19-year-old, living a quiet life and working at a small café in the heart of Seoul. Her days are ordinary—familiar faces, steaming cups of coffee, and the gentle rhythm of a job she’s grown used to. But her ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when 20 yearsold Sanghoon, South Korea’s most beloved actor, walks through the café door.
For Sanghoon, it’s supposed to be just another stop in his hectic schedule, a brief escape from the chaos of fame. Eun-Ji thinks nothing of it. To her, he’s just another customer. But to Sanghoon, the moment their eyes meet, the world shifts. Beneath the glow of café lights and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, he sees something in Eun-Ji that fame and fortune have never brought him: a sense of belonging.
As their worlds begin to intertwine, Sanghoon finds himself drawn to Eun-Ji’s quiet grace and the unspoken warmth she brings to his chaotic life. For Eun-Ji, his sudden attention feels like a dream she doesn’t dare believe in, a connection that seems too fragile to survive the glare of the spotlight.
“When He Walked In” is a heartfelt romance about two souls from different worlds, the power of unexpected love, and the courage it takes to hold on when everything seems to pull them apart.
