# Synopsis

Heo Mun-oh is a university professor of Korean Literature and a failed novelist who has abandoned writing after struggling with feelings of defeat, powerlessness, and lingering insecurity caused by harsh criticism from a peer during his youth. Living an unfulfilled life, Mun-oh harbors a hidden disdain for his students, who struggle to compose proper sentences. His routine changes when he notices Lee Kang, an engineering student who consistently sits in the very back row of the lecture hall. Upon reading Kang's work, Mun-oh becomes deeply captivated by the young man's mysterious persona and innate literary talent. Driven by a desire to nurture a gifted student, Mun-oh offers Kang private writing tutorials. As the lessons progress, Kang's brilliance reignites Mun-oh's long-dormant creative ambitions and personal desires. However, Mun-oh's growing obsession with the student's writing begins to cloud his judgment. Entrapped by the narratives Kang weaves, Mun-oh undergoes behavioral shifts and ultimately becomes entangled in an unexpected series of events that blur the line between reality and fiction.
