Summary
Divorced, jaded Seong Gi-hun had already been having a terrible day - fired from his job, all his money stolen from him, and with no present to give his only daughter on her tenth birthday, he really thought things could not get any worse. Until, of course, his ex-wife tells him she'll be taking his daughter to America by the end of the year and there was nothing Gi-hun could do to stop it.
Desperate, furious and sad, there really was no way it could get any worse. So when a handsome but strange man approached him to play a game, Gi-hun decided he might as well say yes. A few slaps and a 100,000 won later, he has a strange card in his hand and a job offer he might not be able to refuse.
His life was about to get a whole lot stranger and a lot more dangerous. But, if he plays just right, it might just get a whole lot better as well.

Summary
He doesn’t remember the fall. Only the hands that caught him.
A house by the sea, set a little apart from the world, rocked by the salty wind and the murmur of the waves.
Jongwoo wakes up there one morning, his body heavy, his ankle broken, his memories lost in a fog he doesn’t understand.
He doesn’t know how he got here. He’s not sure he even wants to know.
There’s a man with careful hands and a patient smile, who speaks to him gently, gives him his medicine, helps him walk. He says his name is Moonjo. He says he’s here for him.
Outside, the neighbors are quiet. Inside, the walls hold their breath. And with each passing day, Jongwoo forgets how to be afraid.
Maybe he’s getting better.
Maybe he’s not healing at all.
