Hwang Hyunjin is the "Shadow of Seoul," a reclusive genius who paints people as if they are made of smoke. He lives in a monochromatic world of graphite and silence, believing that if he ever loved someone "out loud," they would simply disappear.
Yoo Mirae is the girl who refuses to be a ghost. A librarian who studies how secrets rot the things they are meant to protect, she recognizes Hyunjin's gaze not as love, but as an autopsy. She is the only one who sees the man behind the charcoal-stained mask, challenging him to step into the "gray area" where life is messy, human, and terrifyingly real.
But when Hyunjin's private Photobook-a leather-bound confession of every scar and secret he has stolen from her-is exposed to the world, the frame snaps.
"When you frame something, you kill it," she warns him.
To save her, Hyunjin must do the unthinkable: he must destroy his legacy, silence his art, and learn how to be a person without a pencil in his hand. In a city of millions, can two people find color in the wreckage of a masterpiece, or are some stories meant to remain in black and white?.
