Maitê Schneider lives in Seoul, restoring antique furniture in a small workshop in Seochon. Her craft demands patience, precision, and the rare ability to see value in even the most damaged pieces — a skill she never imagined she would have to apply to human beings.
Seo Do-hyun is known behind the scenes of South Korean corporate power as 'The Fixer': a cold, immaculate man dangerously efficient at dismantling business empires. Controlled, silent, and emotionally inaccessible, he has built his life like a fortress where nothing enters and nothing stays.
When a single night of violence forces their paths to cross, it sparks a slow, intimate, and irreversible connection.
Amidst shared coffees, comfortable silences, a workshop thick with the scent of varnish, and secrets buried for decades, Maitê and Do-hyun draw closer just as a family conspiracy threatens to shatter everything around them.
Marked by emotional delicacy, restraint, and a cinematic atmosphere, 'Kintsugi' is a contemporary romance about trauma, survival, and the courage to let someone see your broken pieces — and choose to stay.
