SINOPSIS

Mi-so, a 12-years-old girl who has transferred from Seoul to Jeju island, meets Ha-eun. They promise never to separate. At the age of 18, Ha-eun's boyfriend, Jin-woo, breaks the two girls' friendship. A few years later, they come apart as their lives go separate ways.

Soulmate is all about contrasts. Hazy, fantasy-like scenes are braided together with darkly realistic moments. The opposite emotions – friendship and rivalry, closeness and distance, even love and hate – are shown to be inexplicably linked when it comes to our most enduring relationships. As one character points out, shadows exist because of sunlight.
