About
The 1930s, a winter during the Japanese colonial period. Guest has two childhood friends of ten years. Choi Yudam and Shim Yunho. As children, the three were always together. They went to school together, ran through the alleys, and though they bickered over trifles, they always ended up laughing together.

For his family's livelihood and his own career, he began cooperating with Japan, eventually working for an institution related to the Government-General of Korea.
