In the tangled streets of Ssangmun-dong, childhood friends Gi-hun and Sang-woo were once inseparable, their bond woven from years of mischief, stolen moments, and whispered dreams of escape. But time has a cruel way of unraveling even the tightest knots.
Years later, fate twists their paths in ways neither could have predicted. Gi-hun, shaped by hardship and desperation, finds herself trapped in the brutal reality of the Squid Game, a nightmarish gamble where survival is the only prize. Sang-woo, on the other hand, was never there-his life took him far from their childhood streets, into a different kind of game entirely. Now known as Berlin, he is a force to be reckoned with in the underworld, commanding presence in a heist that will shake the foundations of power.
Their worlds should have remained separate. But red strings, once tied, never truly break.
This is a story of love, betrayal, and the ghosts of the past refusing to stay buried. When destiny throws them back into each other's orbit, old wounds resurface, old feelings ignite, and the choices they make will determine whether they survive together-or destroy each other for good.
