One man's life begins to crumble when a mysterious woman shows up at his motel one summer, leaving him to cling dearly to his former ways of life in this mystery thriller series. One of Korea's leading actors, the acclaimed Kim Yun-seok ("Escape From Mogadishu", "Another Child", "1987: When the Day Comes", "The Thieves", "The Chaser") stars as Jeon Yeong-ha, the owner of a motel deep in the woods. The limitless Yoon Kye-sang ("Spiritwalker", "MAL-MO-E: The Secret Mission", "The Outlaws"), who transforms himself with each performance, plays Goo Sang-joon, the previous owner of the motel in question, and the versatile Go Min-si ("Sweet Home", "Love Alarm", "Jirisan", "Youth of May", "Smugglers", "The Witch : Part 1. The Subversion"), who boasts an impressive range of genres and characters, plays Yoo Seong-ah, the mysterious woman who disrupts Yeong-ha's life. Last but not least, the trusted go-to actor Lee Jung-eun ("Daily Dose of Sunshine", "Juvenile Justice", "When the Camellia Blooms", "Parasite") portrays Yoon Bo-min, a former ace detective from the homicide department who is now an inspector relentlessly pursuing the case. Masterminded by director Mo Wan-il, whose work in "The World of the Married" and "Misty" was highly praised for its nuanced psychology and strong dramatic mood, this unique mystery thriller will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats with its chilling twists and turns.
