Where the dirty dark shadows the glitz.

Drama

The story of the journey of married couple up the social latter. The husband is professor at Seoul National University who is running for the National Assembly, and his wife is a painter.

VIBE

A tense, aspirational drama about the corrosive effects of ambition and class. It feels like a slow-burn examination of a marriage under immense pressure, where every choice carries significant weight and the social climb is fraught with anxiety.
