In the drama, Wi Hajun is Cha Wooseok who investigates an insurance fraud scheme linked to a series of mysterious deaths—only to become entangled with Han Seol-ah (Park Min-young) who is suspected to be at the center of it all. 

As he probes her secrets, he falls into a dangerous attraction that could cost him his life. 

Park Min-young’s role, Han Seol-ah, who is the head auctioneer and team leader at Royal Auction, the nation’s leading art auction house. Beneath her elegant exterior, however, lies a chilling secret: every man who has loved her has died. 

Wi Hajun is Cha Wooseok , an investigator with the Insurance Fraud Investigation Unit (SIU). 

As the suspect and investigator, Han Seol-ah and Cha Wooseok become dangerously entangled, creating a gripping tension that blurs the line between obsession and love.
