About Season 1

Hyun-soo, a life-loathing 18-year-old social recluse, moves into an old apartment complex called Green Home after the tragic death of his family. Feeling hopeless to his own, he decides that suicide is his only option. He schedules his suicide for the end of the month and goes to bed — only to wake up in a world full of hopelessness where floating monsters are about to sweep away humanity.

The other Green Home residents realize they are trapped, surrounded by monsters in various forms of distorted human desires that are dangerously invincible. Meanwhile, the “monsterization” of people begins to emerge amongst the survivors, including Hyun-soo.

Now they have to find the answers to survive while questioning what is “right vs. wrong”, “us vs. foe”, and whether to keep Hyun-soo alive.
