Genres: Mystery, Romance, Drama, Melodrama

As a child, Pyo In Sook was abandoned by her parents and left in the care of her grandmother, growing up in a life marked by hardship and scarcity. Now, she toils at a public bathhouse, scrubbing away the grime of others while hiding her own emotions behind a cold facade. When a doctor delivers the grim news of her terminal illness, In Sook faces her impending mortality with a steely indifference.

Her world shifts as she enters a hospice, where she encounters two women whose lives starkly contrast her own: Seong Mi Do, a glamorous social media influencer, and Kang Se Yeon, a solitary housewife feeling overlooked and unappreciated. Each woman is grappling with her own inner turmoil, and together they bond over their shared sense of betrayal.

On a rainy day, In Sook crosses paths with Min Woo Cheon, a contract killer who moonlights as a private detective. His stoic demeanor belies a profound sadness, drawing In Sook into a complex web of emotions. As the three women contemplate exacting revenge on those who wronged them, their anger slowly begins to fade, replaced by the warmth of newfound friendship.

As In Sook and Woo Cheon's connection deepens into something more profound, she starts to question her desire for vengeance. With her feelings for Woo Cheon growing stronger, she must confront her true desires and reconsider the path she thought she had already chosen.
