    He remains relaxed and enjoys his youth with his gang friends. Gyun Woo loves hanging out because that’s where he can seduce pretty girls.

    However, that night his intentions were thwarted by a phone call from his mother, who said he was visiting his aunt, who is still grieving the loss of her son 1.5 years ago. Because of her mother’s compulsion, Gyun Woo agreed.
