when the mask falls

Ten years ago, Hwang In-ho vanished - leaving behind his badge, his honor, and the woman who once saved him from himself.
Now, he returns to the deadly Game he helped create, wearing the mask of a player. His mission is clear: stop Seong Gi-hun from destroying it all.
But when he sees Han So-ra - the woman who once was his light - standing among the contestants, everything begins to unravel.
She's not the bright, stubborn cop he remembers. She's hollow. Dying. Unafraid.
And for the first time, the Front Man feels something he swore he'd buried.
In a world where survival has a price, will he protect her... or destroy her?
