Synopsis
"What do you see?"

One day, Jeong-ho suddenly disappears without a trace. Soo-jin, his girlfriend, In-joo, who harbors a crush on him, and Yoo-jeong, his ex, each holds a tangled connection to his vanishing. Soo-jin secretly continues a relationship with Hoon-seong behind Jeong-ho's back. In-joo, facing a possibly terminal illness, resolves to confess her feelings to Jeong-ho. Yoo-jeong, burdened with guilt over Jeong-ho's suicide attempt, finds her relationship with her current boyfriend Woo-seok falling apart. But the real question remains: where did Jeong-ho go? Who found him first? And is the man who returned truly Jeong-ho? Between what we see and what we believe, stories emerge, unexpected, layered, and haunting.
