One-Line Verdict
“The moving love of Hwang Yong-sik, who offers unconditional support to Dong-baek—a woman who had been living in a shell, weighed down by prejudice and the judgmental gazes of others.”
Overview
Dongbaek, a single mother raising her son Pil-gu while running the bar “Camellia” in the small town of Ongsan, Chungcheong-do, lives her life steadfastly despite the prejudice and hostility of the locals.
Hwang Yong-sik, a police officer at the Ongsan substation, falls for Dongbaek at first sight; recognizing her true worth, he offers her unconditional support and love.
However, tension rises in the peaceful town of Ongsan when a serial killer known as “Kabuli” appears and threatens Dongbaek.
