Dong-eun's happiness and dreams are taken away from the day she is physically and emotionally tortured: Rape, beating, threats, having a hairdresser stuck all over her body that burns her. When Dong Eun denounces the crimes committed by her friends, no one listens to her. Even her only relative, her mother, betrayed her, accepted money and did as powerful people told her.From playful girl with passion to architect, Dong Eun's life has become hell. At the beginning of episode one, she arrives at the apartment complex and observes the enemy from above, holding in her hand the flower "devil's breath". The metaphor details for Dong Eun's person, that she accepts becoming "evil" when justice does not exist.
After 18 years, the bullying group is almost all successful: Yeon Jin becomes a weather forecaster MC and marries Do Yeong, her educated, wealthy husband. Hye-jeong becomes a flight attendant. Jae Joon is the director. Sarah is a painter. Despite being close for nearly 20 years, the foundation of their friendship comes not from sincerity but from interest and commitment.
Dong Eun chooses to hit each person's psyche, taking advantage of their weaknesses and arousing their fears. She builds relationships with people involved in the lives of her enemies. In the process, Dong Eun gradually finds joy again. She and Dr. Yeo Jeong develop feelings and heal the hurt together. He was the only one who sympathized, loving both her soulaches and her scars.
