“S Line” is the live adaptation of a webtoon of the same name by Kkomabi (Little Bee).

Currently, the “S Line” webtoon is unavailable in English.
The thriller fantasy revolves around the mysterious red line over people’s heads. The red line is for the social secret sex line (S Line) that connects individuals who have had intimate relationships, regardless of time and place, and one’s private information revealed overnight. The red line is only visible to the eyes with special glasses; no one can touch it.
The live adaptation of “S Line” features an impressive cast lineup: Lee Soo Hyuk, Lee Da Hee, and Oh My Girl’s Arin.
