Darling follows a young man who dreams of marrying a perfect girl and taking her to Paris for their honeymoon. Determined to make this dream a reality, he vows not to apply for a passport until he is married. However, after finding and marrying his ideal partner, he is confronted with the unexpected reality that his wife suffers from a split personality disorder. This condition means she has two or more personalities in the same body. Interestingly, each of her distinct personalities has its own name, history, and characteristics. Consequently, this leads to numerous complications in their relationship and his personal life.
