The First Man

Korean title: 첫번째남자

Synopsis

Two women collide in a deadly contest of identities: one who takes over another’s life out of consuming desire, and another who steps into a stranger’s shoes to engineer her own revenge. As deceptions stack and pasts unravel, every step toward the truth pulls them closer to ruin.
