Plot
Hwang Dae-Woo (Park Yong-Woo) is a 30-year-old university professor of English literature who has never been in a romantic relationship. Encouraged by his friends, he eventually gathers the courage to pursue Lee Mi-Na (Choi Gang-Hee), a woman who recently moved into his apartment complex. Despite his overly meticulous and rehearsed approach to their first date, the two begin a relationship.
As their courtship progresses, Dae-Woo begins to notice increasingly suspicious behavior from Mi-Na. Her inconsistencies—ranging from a lack of knowledge about basic art history despite her background, to peculiar household habits—lead him to suspect that she is hiding a dark secret.
