Plot summary

Julian has lived off with the money he lures from his rich female customers. But now he faces usurious debts from a hasty expansion of his business, and he will be killed unless he clears the debt in one month. The only way to save himself is to pretend to be the long-lost brother of an heiress and kill her to get her huge fortune. Min, the blind heiress, cold-hearted like Julian, slowly opens herself to him, and he, too, falls for her. But Julian has to pay his creditor and what makes it worse for him is that the illness that took Min’s eyesight relapsed, threatening her life. This story takes a terrible turn when Julian becomes guilty, and pained with guilt. The tearjerker moments of the ironic betrayal and innocent love will make your heart turn.

Director's Statement

"The moment when two people desperately long for one another, the moment when love cannot possess but subsists - that’s what I tried to put on screen. Julian and Min are not your regular melodrama characters. When love unexpectedly comes to the two very people mistrusting love, it becomes more ardent than ever.”
