    Summary

    One year ago, Seong Gi-hun woke up in a Los Angeles hospital—barely alive and with no memory of who he is or what happened to him.
    Now, he stumbles through a bleak existence, haunted by cryptic nightmares of twisted children’s games. His world consists only of a daughter he doesn’t remember, a therapist he doesn’t like, and a mysterious benefactor who, for reasons unknown, continues to pay his medical bills.
    That is, until he crosses paths with a woman in a black suit—playing a game that feels eerily familiar.

    Summary

    Kara Sevda
    [Noun.] Turkish
    A blinding, desperate love for another person. A kind of love that makes you sick. Literally translates to "Dark Love".

    "You did it, hero. You stopped the games. You should be happy."

    Gi-hun had won. In-ho has failed to break his spirit. And the more he fails, the more his obsession with the man grows, plunging him into the black ocean of despair. A love that is keeping them both prisoners.

    "How long are you going to keep me here?"

    "As long as it takes."

    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love

    The song they were dancing to felt like a letter to the future. In-ho knew that whatever they had couldn't last forever. Sooner or later, Gi-hun was going to disentangle himself from his web.

    He just wanted to dance with him until the end.

    Summary

    Divorced, jaded Seong Gi-hun had already been having a terrible day - fired from his job, all his money stolen from him, and with no present to give his only daughter on her tenth birthday, he really thought things could not get any worse. Until, of course, his ex-wife tells him she'll be taking his daughter to America by the end of the year and there was nothing Gi-hun could do to stop it.

    Desperate, furious and sad, there really was no way it could get any worse. So when a handsome but strange man approached him to play a game, Gi-hun decided he might as well say yes. A few slaps and a 100,000 won later, he has a strange card in his hand and a job offer he might not be able to refuse.

    His life was about to get a whole lot stranger and a lot more dangerous. But, if he plays just right, it might just get a whole lot better as well.

    Summary

    "It wasn't about jumping. It was about the ability to jump. The choice.[...] Something to remind him there was a way out."

    Seong Gi-hun, a depressed but compassionate mechanic, meets Hwang In-ho on top of the bridge. Neither of them are there to jump, but they are both there. Their experiences with grief and humanity are different, but being seen and understood is too miraculous and too rare for either of them to pass up.

    (Sad, traumatized old men fall in love.)
