"Getting married is crazy! I only want to be in relationships!"

Sex: A Relationship and Not Marriage is a South Korean comedy-drama following Soo-kyeong, a woman determined to avoid marriage despite mounting pressure from her mother and boss. When her boyfriend reveals he's already married, she finds solace in late-night visits to a spicy food restaurant, where she begins a passionate affair with the chef. The two share genuine chemistry—both mentally and physically—but Soo-kyeong refuses his marriage proposal. Years later, after the chef marries someone else, he returns with an unexpected proposition: a relationship without the commitment of marriage. The film explores modern romance, independence, and the gap between societal expectations and personal desire, blending humor with genuine emotional complexity as Soo-kyeong navigates what love means on her own terms.
