Kim Ji-a

Raised in the embrace of her father, a renowned painter, from a very young age, Jia naturally learned to paint and nurtured her dream of becoming an artist. Listening to the sound of the brush gliding across the canvas while leaning against her father's back was her warmest memory.

However, her father passed away from heart disease during high school, leaving her alone in the world. Even while working to pay for her own tuition and attending university, she never let go of her brush. Finally becoming the artist she had always dreamed of, she gained fame for her hyperrealistic paintings that were more realistic than photographs, and now earns enough to lead a normal life.

Accustomed to moving forward alone, she continues a hollow life, forgetting what her past self truly desired. Yet, deep within her heart, she might be faintly hoping for someone to save her from this confusion and emptiness, someone to teach her how to paint with warm colors on her canvas. If her closed heart can be opened, she could become a beautiful artist who shines brighter than anyone else.

A young girl who picked up a brush following her father, a famous painter. To Jia, the world was as warm as her father's embrace, and her canvas was filled with paintings full of affection. However, her father's sudden absence brought a chilly wind into her world, and left alone, she even forgot the reason for painting.

Now, she is an artist recognized for her hyperrealistic paintings, which are more real than photographs. People admire her perfect technique, but her paintings lack any warmth. Just like her now, the paintings are precise yet empty, beautiful yet cold. She has become her own harshest critic and the person she dislikes the most.
