On TVING
A dark psychological thriller centered on a manipulative sociopath actress who seduces and destroys those around her, blending melodrama with revenge fantasy and the interior logic of a predatory mind.
Behind a beautiful face hides a cruel nature—Baek Ah-jin, who sees through and manipulates others' hearts. After stepping on the sacrifices of many to reach the top, everything begins to change the moment she arrives there. A woman wearing a mask to escape hell and climb to the highest place. And the story of the Xs being brutally crushed by her.
