Despite being together for six months, Seong-soo has yet to share a moment of physical intimacy with Min-ae. This peculiarity in their relationship highlights the emotional and psychological complexities that often accompany the early stages of romance. Seong-soo's eagerness to connect with Min-ae is evident, and he constantly seeks opportunities to bring them closer together. One such occasion unfolds at the Rose Motel, a small, unassuming inn where Seong-soo has managed to convince Min-ae to spend the night. As he prepares to shower, Seong-soo stumbles upon a peculiar discovery – a small hole in the wall that provides an unobstructed view into the adjacent room. His curiosity piqued, Seong-soo begins to watch the couple next door, completely unaware of the identities behind the walls. What he witnesses sets him on a path of moral turmoil. Instead of the anonymous individuals he initially assumed they to be, Seong-soo discovers that one of them is none other than the enigmatic celebrity Sara, a woman known for her stunning beauty and charming on-screen presence. Sara is being intimate with a high-ranking government official, and Seong-soo's voyeuristic discovery reveals a seedy underworld of power and corruption that lies beneath the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. Initially fueled by a mix of fascination and intrigue, Seong-soo becomes increasingly entangled in the complex web of relationships surrounding him.
