Ji-hyun Jun plays Kyungjin, a police officer who finds herself chasing down a suspected bag-snatcher on her day off. However, the man she catches turns out to be Myungwoo (Hyuk Jang, “Volcano High”), a passer-by who was himself trying to apprehend the real criminal. In an unsurprising turn of events, the two are partnered together after Myungwoo volunteers to patrol the red light district looking for unruly students. However, events take a tragic, if somewhat expected, turn and Kyungjin is left questioning everything and searching for a reason to live. —BeyondHollywood
