Burul

Burul is a drama about a rural high school student who aspires to practice wrestling. She faces opposition from her father and her coach, who prevents her from using the boys' gym, forcing her to train in isolation at home. The conflict intensifies when a man from a nearby village abducts her for the purpose of marriage after he fails to gain her interest through conversation.
