100% Era

In the technologically advanced year 2044, the "100% Era" defines a post-pandemic future where humanity navigates a world transformed by automation, making human labor largely redundant. This intense societal shift fuels an unprecedented level of competition, pushing individuals to constantly strive for perfection to secure their place. Teenagers, particularly those born during the pandemic, confront this relentless pressure head-on.

The story centers on Hee Jae and Shi Dae, two adolescents enrolled in an elite, top-rank education academy. This institution is designed to train students to achieve flawless 100% scores on every assessment, with any performance falling below 90% resulting in immediate expulsion. As traditional schools have vanished and social interactions have become increasingly contactless, Hee Jae and Shi Dae spend their formative teenage years under immense academic scrutiny. Amidst this high-pressure, isolated existence, they unexpectedly develop a profound, secret connection, challenging the very fabric of their competitive, detached world and exploring the true meaning of growing up and loving in an era that demands nothing less than absolute perfection.
