Twenty minutes. A coffee in Yeonnam-dong. And a disguise that was supposed to be foolproof.

Seo Ji-hwan is South Korea's biggest star — the 'Prince of the Nation.' Behind the mask and the cap, he is simply exhausted from living a calculated perfection designed for the cameras. But everything changes the moment she walks through the door: a red-haired foreigner with a free, contagious smile. A single glance, lasting less than a second, was all it took to completely disarm his rational mind.

What follows are seventy-two hours of agony. Between chaotic shoots and the relentless pressure of his agency, Ji-hwan is haunted by a sweet, quiet obsession — a mental itch that reason simply cannot scratch.

Narrated entirely from Ji-hwan's point of view, 'Without Permission' takes you behind the scenes of a man used to absolute control, now on the verge of risking his entire career just to return to that table by the window.
