Plot
Living at the high end of the upper class and working at the secretariat in the colonial Japanese government, LEE Hae-myung (Hae-il Park) is a modern boy who is absorbed in enjoying romanticism and love with the times behind him.
One day, he goes to a secret clubhouse with his best friend Shinsuke, a Japanese prosecutor in the colonial government, and meets CHO Nan-shil, a dancer. It is love at first sight. Hae-myung decides to bet his entire life on her.
Hae-myung uses any and all means possible and eventually succeeds in starting an ideal relationship with Nan-shil. While he falls completely head over heels for her, Nan-shil unexpectedly steals everything in his house and disappears without a trace. On top of that, the innocent looking lunchbox that Nan-shil carefully packs for Hae-myung ends up being a bomb that explodes inside the government building Hae-myung works in, putting him in grave danger.
Unable to overcome his shock, confusion, longing, and anger towards Nan-shil, Hae-myung combs Kyung-sung searching for her. He later finds out that she is a very enigmatic woman with several names, several different jobs—even several different men. When he hears a rumor that she has a husband named Terror Park, Hae-myung becomes engulfed in jealousy and rage. With the help of a private detective named BAEK Sang-huh, he finds a clue to Nan-shil’s whereabouts and races over to find her.
But Hae-myung cannot even begin to imagine what is in store for him: the great secret that awaits him, confronting the unseen second face of his best friend Shinsuke, and the beginning of crisis of a lifetime upon which he must gamble everything he has.
1937, Kyung-sung. A deadly chase, unpredictable happenings... What else is in store for Hae-myung in the uncontrollable whirlwind of the times?
