Misery is a part of life and evil is a perpetual part of society. Lee Haechan and Kim Jiae couldn't be the ones to talk when they themselves were blurring the lines between benevolence and cynicism. But the Sermanes were stepping a line that pushed the boundary of unethical to inhumane. After uncovering what lies beneath Hanyak and getting their hands on an imperative set of files, the couple ended up delving deeper into the intricate maze of violence and mystery.
What they wouldn't have expected is for the betrayals to hit so close to home. Neither did they think the leader of the syndicate would go as far as blurring the lines between reality and delusion - where truth is an illusion and lies are spread as reality.
She finds herself in a compromising position midst the world of the richest in the country, the chaebols - his world; a world she couldn't have anticipated the wickedness of. On the other hand he, struggles to juggle all that had been thrown at him at once, failing to dodge the bullet that was aimed straight home. The pair is faced with distrust and hostility between them, all the while, having to manage their child - with whom they finally find a budding glimmer of hope and gradually rebuild the cracks in their relationship that was caused by an odd intervention.
In a world where money is power, and power prevails. Is love really just a cascading delusion? In the end, would they manage to make it through it all, unscathed?
"You know I still love you, right?"
"Do you even recognise me..?"
