In Angok, she meets librarian Daebum, who suffered a similar life as Yeoreum, and they grow close through numerous incidents that bond them together. This pulls them closer, with Yeoreum finding her inner self through Daebum and heals her wounds of the past. However, not all is bright and well in Angok. Just when things are expected to end happily, the show climax hits with unexpected scenarios that will tear the couple apart. Yeoreum finds herself tangled in an unexpected murder case, and the pair must work together to chase down the killer. Each action-filled episode is bound to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as it follows the pair through the challenges they face in Angok.
