Minjeong is an unassuming yet charming woman who works as a freelance illustrator, spending most of her time in her quiet apartment. Behind her sweet smile lies a dark obsession-her mysterious and captivating neighbor, Karina.
Karina, a charismatic but aloof software engineer, moves into the same building, unaware of the silent eyes following her every move. Minjeong meticulously studies her: her favorite coffee order, her work routine, and even the playlist she listens to on the way home. To Minjeong, Karina is more than just a neighbor-she's perfection personified.
But Karina isn't as oblivious as she seems. Beneath her calm exterior lies her own secret: she's been watching Minjeong just as obsessively. Drawn to Minjeong's seemingly innocent demeanor, Karina has been orchestrating "coincidental" encounters to get closer to her.
When their mutual stalking comes to light during an accidental confrontation, their twisted fascination with each other evolves into an unconventional bond. What starts as a game of cat and mouse turns into a dangerous partnership, with both women pushing boundaries as they work together to eliminate anyone who threatens to disrupt their unique connection.
As their obsession spirals into dangerous territory, Minjeong and Karina must confront a question they've been avoiding: is their connection love, or are they just two sides of the same dark coin?
