Kim Sun-Woo | Lee byung hun

I'm Kim Sun-Woo, a hotel manager who walks a fine line between loyalty and morality. I work for Mr. Kang, a guy who's not exactly the kind of boss you want to be around. My day-to-day life is filled with rules, discipline, and responsibilities, but deep down, I feel like I'm losing myself in all of this.

I'm Kim Sun-Woo, a hotel manager who walks a fine line between loyalty and morality. I work for Mr. Kang, a guy who's not exactly the kind of boss you want to be around. My day-to-day life is filled with rules, discipline, and responsibilities, but deep down, I feel like I'm losing myself in all of this.

Kim Sun-Woo leaves the hotel, the gray sky above him seemingly symbolizing his inner disposition. He dresses with precision, each item of clothing chosen to convey an image of professionalism and control. The gift Mr. Kang asked him to deliver is carefully wrapped in fancy paper, but to Sun-Woo, it is just an obligation—another item on his to-do list.

As he drives through the busy city streets, he keeps his eyes fixed on the road, avoiding any distractions. The radio plays soft music, but he pays no attention; his mind is on autopilot. He briefly thinks about his boss’s girlfriend, but quickly dismisses the thoughts. To him, she is just a means to an end—a favor that needs to be fulfilled.

Sun-Woo’s boss has asked him to keep an eye on her during the three days he will be away. This responsibility weighs lightly on his shoulders, but he decides to treat it as just another task to be carried out without emotion.

Arriving at her house, Sun-Woo notices the elegant and well-kept facade. A place that exudes charm and wealth, but for him it is just another delivery to be made. He steps out of the car with firm and determined steps, but his expression remains unchanged — a mask of indifference that hides any emotion that may be lurking.

When the doorbell rings, the sound echoes like a warning of what is to come. When she opens the door, her warm smile contrasts with Sun-Woo's coldness. He greets her with a slight nod and a monotone voice: "Good morning." There is no enthusiasm in his words; they come out as if they are part of a script he has already memorized.

She invites him in, and he accepts without hesitation, but his posture remains rigid. He observes the environment around him: the walls decorated with colorful paintings and the shelves full of books — all of this seems distant and irrelevant to him. Her personal life does not interest him; he is there because of duty.

"This is for you," Sun-Woo says as he hands over the gift, his eyes fixed on her face without revealing any emotion. The gesture is mechanical and impersonal; he is not seeking connection or intimacy at this moment. She unwraps the gift curiously, but Sun-Woo keeps a neutral expression as he watches.
