who does not give him any explanation.
He then follows a strange drug experiment until finally,

Will his new look get him his girlfriend back?
Let's find out in Romance Full of Life.
Romance Full of Life begins by showing Noryangjin,
a city visited by many young people who want to study and achieve their dreams.
But in reality,
this city is like hell for young people.
They are forced to sacrifice their youth by continuing to study hard, otherwise,
they will be eliminated.
In a mini market, a geeky young man named In Sung is serving his female customers friendly.
He was so friendly, that it made the female customer uncomfortable.
Moreover, he gave very detailed information on a product.
Because of that, his boss, who was fierce and super stingy,
scolded him in front of the customers.
Instead of paying attention to the boss, In Sung fantasizes
that if he has a lot of money, he can punch his boss in the face until his nose bleeds.
However, in reality, his boss was twisting his neck until he was having trouble breathing.
To calm down and vent his frustration, In Sung cursed in a park.
After calming down a bit,
he checked the announcement whether he passed the police selection exam or not.
Unfortunately, his registration number was not listed in the list
of those who passed the selection exam.
He felt very disappointed in himself.
Moments later, a young man named Ji Seob was visiting In Sung's boarding room.
Ji Seob found In Sun sitting quietly with his head down. He tries to comfort him, saying that
he also failed to pass the police academy entrance examination.
In Sung tearfully explains to Ji Seob
that he is sad not because he failed to enter the police academy but because his girlfriend,
So Ra, just dumped him.
In Sung's misfortune did not stop there.
When he returned to his room, his belongings were lying in the corridor.
He had been evicted after two months in arrears on his rent.
Confused and having no money at all,
he had no other choice but to go to the convenience store where he worked and sleep there.
His boss kicked him in the leg in the morning while he was still asleep.
Worse yet, his boss fired him right away.
Not even his wages were paid.
In the afternoon, In Sung meets with Ji Seob and discusses his bad luck.
Then, he opened his cellphone and looked through the job advertisements.
Accidentally, he found a vacancy with fairly high pay.
Even better, he only had to work for three days and two nights.
He screams with joy and immediately goes to apply for the job.
It turned out that the job he was applying for was for "Experiment Full of Life",
a clinical trial to test a new drug.
Pharmaceutical companies need people to test the drug.
So it's not just In Sung who is interested; many applicants are also queuing for the job.
At the hospital, In Sung began to undergo a selection process,
including bodyweight measurements and blood tests.
After three days in the hospital, where he was only told to sit, eat,
take medicine and remain silent, In Sung and the other applicants were allowed to go home.
They also receive wages for their work. However, when In Sung is standing outside the hospital, he
suddenly feels so dizzy that he must sit down to calm himself down. He took off his glasses and saw
a blue light flash briefly in his eyes. After a while, he recovered and the headache disappeared.
Even though he was suspicious, he ignored it and immediately left the hospital. Next, he visits So
Ra, even though he doesn't speak at all in front of her. After leaving her, In Sung meets Ji Seob
at a restaurant to discuss about So Ra. Ji Seob suspects that In Sung was dumped because So Ra
was close to a policeman named Gung Moo. That night, In Sung returns to his boarding room and
pays all the arrears for his room rent. He looks happy because he can return to his old room again.
But suddenly, sadness hits him after remembering why So Ra broke up with him. That night, when he
was asleep, he suddenly felt a tremendous fever. His fever even made him shiver under his blanket.
He went to the pharmacy the following day to buy a fever reliever. While walking home,
In Sung suddenly felt extraordinary dizziness again like he had felt after being discharged from
the hospital before. The headache made him unable to concentrate, to the point that a car almost hit
him. However, a blue light appeared in his eyes, and on reflex, he was able to jump so high over
the car's roof that he avoided a collision. The next strange thing happened when he got to his
room. Suddenly his vision became blurry. Then he took off his glasses and realized that he could
see clearly without them. In the afternoon, In Sung visits the hospital for a check-up. But the
doctor told him that he was fine. The doctor only advised him to come back to see him if he felt
pain again. After returning from the hospital, In Sung met Ji Seob and they went to play billiards.
In Sung, who had never played Billiard before, suddenly became very proficient in the game.
The people there were amazed at his skills. One day, as she is about to leave her boarding room,
So Ra sees a plastic wrap containing food hanging on the door. But because she was in a hurry,
she didn't heed it. She was in a hurry because she got a side job call. Just as she left,
she met Gung Moo who was on patrol. Gung Moo offers a ride to drop So Ra off. Without thinking,
she accepted the offer and got on the motorbike. In Sung sees all that from a distance. His heart
is burning with jealousy. He then runs after So Ra and, miraculously, his speed increases greatly,
and he can even jump over a pile of garbage without falling. He kept running until he was on
the side of the road, and then he shouted angrily which made So Ra turn to the side. But because he
was not focused while running, he accidentally hit an iron pole. So Ra asks Gung Moo to stop
the motorbike because she is worried and wants to check on In Sung. However, they had a big fight
on the road side, witnessed by Gung Moo and the people passing by. In Sung accuses So Ra of having
an affair with Gung Moo. On the other hand, So Ra denies the accusations. She kicks In Sung before
walking away from him. After the incident, In Sung revisits the minimarket where he used to work to
collect his unpaid wages from his boss. There was an argument between them because his boss refused
to pay his wages. However, a policeman helped In Sung to get his wages. After that, In Sung went to
the salon and changed his haircut. He even went to the boutique and changed the way he dressed. Many
girls were amazed by his new appearance, which made him look handsome. While crossing the bridge,
he heard a woman under the bridge being harassed by a group of men. He immediately jumped off the
bridge and landed perfectly in front of the men. Disputes are unavoidable. But now he has excellent
martial arts skills. Even though he was beaten, he could beat them until they finally ran away.
The woman he helped became fascinated by In Sung. The woman, whose name is Tae Yi, repeatedly thanks
him for saving her from danger. The next day, while on campus, In Sung meets Ji Seob and Tae Yi.
It turns out, Ji Seob likes Tae Yi where Tae Yi, the most beautiful girl on campus who is also
the daughter of a rich man. To thank In Sung, Tae Yi treats him and Ji Seob to a restaurant.
After that, the three of them spent time together. And when night falls, In Sung takes Tae Yi home.
And this is when she confesses her feelings to In Sung. However, In Sung didn't answer right away;
he just smiled. One day, when In Sung and Tae Yi are at a convenience store, they run into
So Ra. Still annoyed with So Ra, In Sung takes revenge by pretending to be intimate with Tae Yi.
Unable to stand his behavior, So Ra leaves the convenience store after shopping. She still
hasn't told In Sung that she was forced to cut him off because of the circumstances. She had to pay
for college herself, so she had to look for odd jobs which caused her grades to drop drastically.
When So Ra arrives at the apartment, she sees Gung Mo secretly hooking food on the doorknob of
her room. So Ra, who saw all this, was surprised because she had thought that the person who gave
her food was In Sung. Actually, Gung Mo has liked So Ra for a long time. Even he has often watched
her since she was still dating In Sung. Gung Mo has never expressed his love for So Ra because
at that time she was still in a relationship with In Sung. While So Ra and In Sung are busy dating,
Gung Mo decides to stay away from them and focus on his exams to get into the police academy.
And after the struggles he went through, he was finally able to pass the test.
On the other hand, In Sung gets a phone call from his mother telling him about their family's
financial condition was not good, so she asked In Sung to send money. The next day, In Sung is
eating on campus, daydreaming. In Sung is still thinking of ways to earn money to help his father
and mother. Shortly after, an advertisement for a paid quiz competition show appeared on television.
Seeing this, he immediately intends to register for the quiz competition event. In addition,
he also still has super intelligence that makes him memorize book material quickly due to the drug
experiment he participated in before. So he feels confident that he will win the quiz competition.
The next day, In Sung came to the TV station that broadcasted the program to take part
in the selection of participants for the quiz competition. All participants will be tested with
several written tests that have been prepared by the producers of the event. When In Sung got the
question sheet from the written test, he smiled because he felt that the questions in the test
were quite easy. After the quiz competition ended, In Sung finally won first place and was able to
take home 5 million won. The next day, In Sung arrived at his parents' house and immediately
gave his parents some of the money he had won yesterday. In the middle of their conversation, In
Sung's mother asks why So Ra didn't come with him. Even though So Ra always visits In Sung's parents'
house from time to time. In Sung chooses to remain silent and doesn't talk about his relationship
with So Ra which has ended. Time passes quickly, now In Sung has to return to Noryangjin city.
Shortly after, he hears a strange sound coming from So Ra's room. He finds So Ra sick and
unconscious in her bedroom. In Sung immediately ran to take So Ra to the hospital for treatment.
He looks very worried about So Ra's health. While So Ra is being treated at the hospital,
In Sung goes to So Ra's workplace to replace her shift so that she doesn't get fired.
When So Ra regains consciousness and recovers, she immediately comes to her workplace to catch
up with In Sung. That night, So Ra and In Sung go home together to their apartment.
On the way, So Ra promises to treat In Sung to dinner as a thank you for taking her to the
hospital and changing her shift. At this point, In Sung and So Ra's relationship has improved again.
Sometime later In Sung and So Ra meet Tae Yi and Gung Mo. They end up walking apart,
In Sung leaving with Tae Yi and So Ra leaving with Gung Mo. So Ra and In Sung don't have dinner
together. After seeing In Sung leave with Tae Yi, So Ra looks sad and uninspired. That night, So Ra
finally decides to start a relationship with Gung Mo. Gung Mo feels very happy because finally his
love feelings have been reciprocated. On the other hand, In Sung and Tae Yi are also having dinner.
But actually In Sung and So Ra still thinks about each other and don't look happy with their current
partner. One day, In Sung and So Ra both remember a promise they made when they were dating.
Previously, they had promised that if they separated and wanted to meet each other again,
they would meet in a special place one day. It was a small park located on the outskirts of the city.
That night, In Sung and So Ra both walked to the park. Unexpectedly,
they finally met in the park and decided to tell each other about the days they had gone through.
That night, they both also ignored phone calls from their respective partners.
When In Sung and So Ra return to their apartment, they accidentally run into Tae Yi and Gong Mu.
After seeing In Sung and So Ra walking together, Tae Yi feels very disappointed and angry with
In Sung. What's more, In Sung said that he still loves So Ra. Tae Yi, who looked annoyed,
immediately slapped In Sung and him. After hearing all this, Gong Mu decides to leave So Ra.
The next night, In Sung gets a message from So Ra asking him to meet on the roof of
their apartment. When In Sung gets there, So Ra shyly says that she actually likes In Sung too.
Hearing that, In Sung looked very happy even though he tried to hide the smile on his face.
Realizing that they love each other, In Sung and So Ra decide to start dating again. That night,
In Sung kissed So Ra gently. Elsewhere, Tae Yi who feels heartbroken then approached every
couple in the restaurant and complained about her feelings for them. She makes such a big
fuss at the restaurant that the owner calls the police. Coincidentally, the policeman on duty
that night was Gong Mu. After Gong Mu realizes that the drunken girl is Tae Yi, he immediately
takes her to a quieter place and calms her down. Tae Yi, who still feels heartbroken, bursts into
tears in front of Gong Mu. Seeing that, Gong Mu instinctively put his arm around Tae Yi and let
her lean on his shoulder. On the other hand, In Sung and So Ra is seen spending time together.
That night, In Sung suddenly has a fever and chills. He even had red freckles on his face.
Realizing that this condition might be a side effect of the experimental drug, he immediately
came to the hospital to ask the professor who had previously conducted experiments on him. The
professor said that In Sung's current condition was a side effect of his experimental drug.
The professor offers a drug that can neutralize these side effects and return In Sung to his
original condition. That means, all the advantages and intelligence that In Sung currently has will
also be lost if he takes the neutralizing drug. Hearing this, In Sung decided not to take the
neutralizing drug until he passed the police academy test that he will take. A few days later,
it was time for the police academy exam that In Sung would take. Throughout the exam, In Sung
looks in a lot of pain because the side effects of his experimental drug have become more severe.
In the middle of the exam, he suddenly gets a call that So Ra had an accident and needs to be
hospitalized. In Sung was confused and didn't know what to do, but then he decided to leave the exam
and ran to the hospital where So Ra was being treated. When he arrives at the hospital, In Sung
looks very worried about seeing So Ra's condition lying weak, even though his own health condition
is deteriorating. When So Ra wakes up, In Sung looks relieved. But a few seconds later he fell
unconscious. After several days of treatment in the hospital, In Sung finally recovered and woke
up from his sleep. In Sung immediately realized that he had been treated with a neutralizing drug.
He feels a little disappointed that he has missed the exam to enter the police academy.
In Sung returns to his old self, glasses and has a weak physical condition. He goes through his days
with a lack of enthusiasm, but fortunately, So Ra will continue to support him and encourage him.
The film closes with a scene where In Sung has become a traffic guard for the children from
the school where So Ra teaches and then they go together to make their relationship more
beautiful and colourful. The moral that can be taken from this film is to love yourself and
believe that we can be someone who can benefit the environment around us in many ways.
