PEAKTHRILLING
Synopsis
Haneul Academy is not a school - it is a gilded cage built to protect the rot of South Korea's elite.
Hidden high in the mountains, it is secretly ruled by the Four Pillars: a corrupt Chairman, a Mafia Don laundering black money, a ruthless tycoon, and the unseen puppeteer known only as The Elephant.
Into this fortress steps Lee Yun Soo - shy, handsome, and marked by a tragic past that makes him seem harmless. To his peers, he is desirable. Forgettable. Safe.
That illusion is intentional.
As Yun Soo climbs Haneul's brutal hierarchy, he begins to manipulate heirs, dismantle rivals, and rewrite the invisible rules that govern power itself. Every bond is calculated. Every weakness is a weapon. In a place designed to create monsters, Yun Soo doesn't merely survive - he evolves.
But absolute control demands a terrible price.
As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, the line between predator and prey begins to blur, forcing a single question to the forefront:
When a perfect strategist conquers everything, what remains to save him from himself?
A dark psychological thriller about power, deception, and the cost of winning.
