The local streaming platform announced the release date, Tuesday, unveiling a teaser poster of the upcoming drama.
The platform's second original series, following the thriller series, “One Ordinary Day,” revolves around a woman named Yu-mi (Bae). Starting with a simple lie, she turns her life around to live a completely different life, leading her to a series of bigger lies to continue the delusion.
Actor Kim Jun-han will play the role of Yu-mi's ambitious husband, Ji-hun. Actress Jung Eun-chae will play the role of Hyun-joo, who seems to have everything and always has been above everyone.
