Worlds Within is a story about life, love, and relationships in the present world we live in.
Worlds Within highlights the story of a pretty, young professional woman named Joana Jung, who works in the production team of a TV network. She is a happy-go-lucky and risk-taking woman who bluntly expresses her opinion and creative ideas for producing great picture, catchy scenes, and blockbuster films among the shows and films she is tasked to produce or direct. Joana Jeung has the most promising career in the field of directing, as she is one of the few women directors in her era who have already proven herself a success to her shows and starting films, all of which have garnered high ratings from viewers and continuously increasing audience.

Rich. Famous. Beautiful—these are best qualities of Joana Jung. However she seems perfect and she has everything that a woman would ask for, she may not have everything at all. And in this story, she would find what is missing in her that she attempts to seek, in order to make her present relationships work and stay harmonious. Hopefully, Joana’s friend, Ji-oh would help her realize her strengths and weaknesses, what she needs to understand in life, and what makes it worth living for inspite of all its stressful demands and challenges.
