Synopsis
Gil-goo, a young man who just quit his job and spends dull days stuck at home. Life takes a sudden turn when Seon-ji moves into his apartment building. Her charm and beauty instantly smite him.
But here’s a strange twist. One Gil-goo witnesses a completely different side of her. He encounters a terrifying, demonic version of Seon-ji in the elevator, leaving him both puzzled and scared.
Soon, he learns the shocking truth from her father, Jang-soo. Seon-ji has a supernatural secret. She’s perfectly sweet and kind during the day. But once midnight strikes, a demon awakens and takes complete control.
To keep watch over Seon-ji during these dangerous hours, Gil-goo takes on a difficult part-time job as her guardian. What follows is a story full of curiosity, courage, and an unusual kind of romance.
