Synopsis
Debt collector turned deliveryman seeks revenge in cutthroat entertainment world with mysterious benefactor's help.
Lee Yoohan once walked away from everything familiar, leaving behind his family and education to forge his own path in the harsh world of debt collection. Years of hardship have left him with nothing but scars and a part-time delivery job, struggling to survive day by day. When a chance encounter brings him face-to-face with ghosts from his past, Yoohan finds himself drawn into the glittering, cutthroat world of celebrity and entertainment. Determined to reclaim what was taken from him and confront those who wronged him, he sets his sights on an industry that seems impossible to break into. Enter Yoon Jay, a mysterious figure with the connections and influence to change Yoohan's fate overnight. But in a world where power comes at a price, Yoohan must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to climb the ranks of fame and fortune—and whether the cost of revenge is worth everything he has left to give.
Lee Yoohan never believed he could turn over a new leaf. Dropping out of school, he leaves his family behind to start working as a debt collector. One day, his estranged younger brother reappears, asking for money to help their mother, who has suddenly fallen ill. Just as Yoohan is about to honor the request, his brother gets stabbed to death by an infuriated client. To make matters worse, his lover, Song Myung-shin, steals Yoohan's savings, and his mother passes away after being unable to afford the surgery. Five years have passed since then, and Yoohan has nothing to his name except his part-time job. While delivering a package, he hears Myung-shin—now an up-and-coming celebrity—talking to his manager about the day that destroyed Yoohan. When he discovers that Myung-shin is the one who orchestrated his brother's death, Yoohan immediately decides to take revenge on his ex. At first, Yoohan attempts to become an actor, but his lack of talent and sponsors makes it impossible for him to harm Myung-shin's public image. But an unlikely meeting with the handsome yet bizarre Yoon Jay, who has the connections to boost his career, might give Yoohan the opportunity he desperately needs—if he is willing to pay Jay back with his body.
