Synopsis

Fresh out of a breakup, game developer Woo-Jin has little going for him. So when he hears that the middle boss of their game is based on him, he can't resist adding a few traits to make his virtual alter ego a tad more noble. Little did he know, he would soon end up trapped in said villain's skin! With a 1 in 1,000 chance of survival, Woo-Jin now has to navigate the countless variables leading him to his impending doom. Will the tweaks he made to the character tip the scales in his favor? (Source: Tapas)
