As the fates of an ex-boxer who closed his heart to the world and a spirited telemarketer who is slowly losing her vision intertwine, their pasts are revealed in a blooming relationship.

Summary

Always follows Cheol-min, a former boxer who has withdrawn from the world and keeps people at a careful distance after painful experiences in his past. His guarded routine changes when he meets Jung-hwa, a warm and spirited telemarketer whose upbeat personality conceals the fact that her eyesight is gradually deteriorating. What begins as an unlikely connection slowly develops into a tender romance as the two discover comfort, trust, and hope in one another. As their relationship deepens, both are forced to confront the histories they have tried to leave behind. Cheol-min’s anger and emotional isolation clash with Jung-hwa’s determination to live fully despite her uncertain future, while her openness encourages him to reconsider the walls he has built around himself. Their bond is shaped not only by affection, but also by the practical and emotional challenges created by her declining vision and his unresolved guilt. Blending melodrama with romance, Always is a story about wounded people finding the courage to care again. Its central themes include forgiveness, sacrifice, resilience, and the possibility of redemption through human connection. The film emphasizes that love is not simply a cure for pain, but can provide the strength to face difficult truths and imagine a different life.
