A thrilling drama that will heat up your June unfolds

A perilous reunion of a brother and a sister after 25 years

 

In-Sook Chappell produced a smash-hit debut with her first screenplay This isn't Romance, which went on to win the Verity Bargate Award, a British theatre award for new writing. She meets young director Pu Sae Rom, whose strong messages made her presence known with Korean new writing play The Warriors of Sunshine, The Lunar World Drama, and the Rohpungchan Wandering Theater . They inflame the early phase of the Korean Diaspora Season with a passionate and provocative performance.

 

The perilous relationship between a brother and a sister who encounter each other 25 years after they parted is amplified by adoption, farewell and guilt, luring the audience into a fine tension. The trauma that is left like a burn bursts into heartwarming scenes right before it explodes. As the title so eloquently says, this isn't romance, but it will surely heat up your night more than any other romance you know.
