Summary
"For Daphne" is a female-centered narrative that reimagines the story of the nymph Daphne, a supporting figure in ancient mythology, by placing her perspective at the core of the plot. In classical myths, Daphne is known as the woman who was transformed into a tree while fleeing from Apollo’s pursuit—voiceless and without agency. This work questions the reasons behind that silence, reconstructing Daphne’s emotions, choices, and resistance as acts of autonomy. It reveals that Apollo’s love was not pure but induced by Eros’s golden arrow, while Daphne, struck by a lead arrow, was cursed to reject him. Within this framework of love as coercion and curse, Daphne redefines her feelings and ultimately chooses freedom—not as someone’s possession, but on her own terms.
"For Daphne" is a modern reinterpretation of the tragic romanticism found in ancient mythology. Rather than a typical romance fantasy, it is a coming-of-age story about a woman who learns to choose her emotions and defy fate. It transcends the binary oppositions of love and curse, constraint and choice, gods and mortals, focusing instead on a woman's journey to take control of her own emotions. Through this approach, the series offers an emotionally resonant narrative that modern readers—especially global female audiences—can empathize with. As such, "For Daphne" is positioned as a high-end, emotion-driven IP with strong appeal for the global female-content market.
