“Why the fuck are you wagging your tail, you son of a bitch? I’m telling you I’ll let you go nicely. Huh?”

Lee Jeongrok, who married only for his wife’s wealth, finds that his newlywed life is nothing like it should be. There is no conversation or sex with his wife, He is repeatedly ignored by his father-in-law, a former gangster, And he is subtly ostracized at work as well.

The only person who became a friend to him is Chief of Security Joo Seungchan. Just when he thought he had finally opened his heart and become true friends, Suddenly, in a touching moment, he rapes him.

“No, no, I said no. I said even if I die, I don’t want to, you bastard. Why can’t you understand a simple thing!” 

“But… I want to.” 

“What does that have to do with me? What does that have to do with me!” 

“Fuck, that’s true. Anyway, I’ll do it just once.”

Lee Jeongrok’s mind was sizzling with rage that rose to the top of his head. It felt like his brain was melting and his eyes were rolling back. The sensations of his body, which had heated up, came vividly to life. He could feel every single strand of fine hair on his body. His chest ached painfully because of his violently pulsing heart. The blood flowing through his veins crashed as violently as waves to his fingertips and toes. Lee Jeongrok felt like he was momentarily going blind. The inside of his ears felt like they were being torn apart by tinnitus. When his vision returned, he was lunging at Joo Seungchan and kissing him.

A full-scale Korean Soap Opera-esque drama black comedy, where human trash meet, commit trashy acts against each other, and enter the trash can together.

(Top): Joo Seungchan (Gangster, 30 years old)

A rock-bottom trash, gangster, thug, and hoodlum who has even served time in prison. He is vaguely aware of social norms and common sense, but he lives his life recklessly with no regard for tomorrow, thinking those things have nothing to do with him. For some reason, he falls for Lee Jeongrok and drags his life into the abyss (though he doesn’t think it’s an abyss).

(Bottom): Lee Jeongrok (Managing Director at Hanyang Construction, 30 years old)

A typical upper-class elite who has no doubt that 99.9% of Korea’s population are uncivilized dogs and pigs. When his business failed and he was forcibly ousted from the top 0.01%, he became obsessed with money. He lives full of venom to return to his original class, but he has been caught by the wrong gangster and is on the verge of reaping what he sowed (though he doesn’t think it’s his own fault).

Recommended When:

You want to see the true “pure love” between two pieces of trash who have moved past arrogance, misunderstandings, and delusions to finally reach each other.

Quote:

“Tell me everything. What you’re thinking, what you’re hiding, what you really want, if you really like me, how much you like me, if you’re going to keep liking me forever, I want you to turn your head, your heart, and even your guts inside out and show it all to me.”
