In the afterlife, ghosts no longer wander dark graveyards. They eat ramyeon. Watch CRT televisions. File complaints. Cause accidents. And somehow survive together inside a strange space station drifting beyond time. Welcome to Friends - a sci-fi sitcom disguised as a ghost story. A dokkaebi who talks too much. A Grim Reaper tired of everything. A mysterious Messenger who always makes situations worse. Agent M, the exhausted underworld office worker. Huldra, who treats disasters like entertainment. And the General... the only person capable of controlling all of them. Somewhere between: old Korean village memories, underworld administration, absurd cosmic philosophy, and instant noodles at midnight... they continue living together. Sometimes funny. Sometimes warm. Sometimes deeply strange. But even ghosts need a place that feels like home.
