Though, Phillip’s and Eul soon’s fate are conjoined, these five do share a past that has a major interference with the present. Suffice to say, this drama is about fate. Anyways, as Phillip and Eul soon begin to work together for a drama series, mysterious things begin to occur around them as events written in the screenplay begin to manifest in real life.
