Summary
In the quiet town of Haju, South Korea, Do Seon-mi, a lesbian civil servant who has kept her sexual orientation secret, and Lee Ga-kyung, a newly appointed lesbian civil servant, discover a loophole in the government system and grant a marriage certificate to a lesbian couple. Before long, the number of officially registered lesbian couples reaches 101. Unexpectedly, Haju City, despite its lack of renowned tourist attractions or distinctive local specialties, emerges as a thriving hub for lesbians.In the 21st century, South Korea still does not legally acknowledge same-sex marriages. Current law defines marriage strictly as a union between a man and a woman, and same-sex couples are not recognized even if they meet all other legal marriage requirements. This story celebrates small but meaningful victories, led by public servants committed to "changing the world rather than waiting for it to change," and 101 lesbian couples who seek a little more happiness. This event is poised to set a precedent, reshaping Korea in the here and now.
