Kim Moo Young works at a brewery and carries a reputation for being unpredictable and difficult to read. When a young woman’s apparent suicide is revealed to be murder, he becomes a key suspect, drawing the attention of veteran homicide detective Yoo Jin Gook. The detective grows increasingly obsessed with uncovering Moo Young’s past, especially when his own sister Yoo Jin Kang becomes close to him.
Jin Kang is a warm and empathetic advertising designer who hides deep emotional wounds. She meets Moo Young by chance and feels drawn to him despite sensing danger in his behavior. Moo Young, who has no clear memories of his childhood, begins to change as he spends more time with her.
As Jin Gook works to solve the case and protect his sister, Moo Young and Jin Kang fall into a complicated and fragile romance. Their growing connection forces them to confront hidden truths, blurred loyalties, and the darkness surrounding Moo Young’s past.
A guy has a crush on the FL, but she doesn’t reciprocate. Not relevant to the main romance.
One of my all-time favorites. Everything is top-tier. The romance is strong but leans heavily into toxic / tragic dynamics.
