In the upcoming series, the duo plays a married couple who are in an arranged marriage of convenience. Their relationship is a mere façade and is cold and distant within the walls of their house. Their mundane routine hits a boulder when the couple receives a threatening phone call. This turns their lives upside down and sets a gripping plot in motion.

In the newly released poster, the duo is within the comforts of their home. In the first still, Yoon Seok and Soo Bin stand close to each other. Looking dapper, Yoon Seok gives a piercing look to his wife who is looking away. The poster emphasises their distant and cold relationship as they don’t even meet each other’s eyes. Meanwhile, in the second still, Soo Bin is sitting alone on the bed. She looks lonely as Yoon Seok stands outside, lost in thought. Elevating the posters are the phrases- “I thought I knew you,” and, “The you I know, may not be the whole truth.” Sending fans into a frenzy, the stills brim with tension and a chilly atmosphere.
