Almost Home is a warm, nostalgic, quietly emotional coming-of-age romance about two young people growing up side by side in a neighborhood that’s slowly fading from the map.

Ha Yoon is loud, stubborn, and exhausted from holding her family together. Min Seon-woo is quiet, steady, and used to being overlooked. They aren’t childhood sweethearts, just two neighbors who keep crossing paths at the moments life feels too heavy.

Through high school stress, family burdens, late-night convenience store escapes, and silent walks home, the two develop an unspoken connection neither fully understands. But growing up pulls them in different directions. Dreams shift. Circumstances change. People leave. And feelings don’t always survive the years it takes to become an adult.

When they meet again as young adults, standing in front of the only place that ever felt like home, they must decide whether the comfort they found in each other was just youth… or something worth returning to.

A slice-of-life love story filled with quiet heartbreak, gentle hope, and the kind of affection that grows slowly but stays for a long time.
