One of the things that he started was to get all seven people who wronged Bang Da Mi. It includes Chairman Bang's misstress, Doctor Cha Joo Ran, his daughter-in-law and Da Mi's biological mother, Geum Ra Hee, and his classmate, who started it all, the wannabe celebrity Han Mo Ne.

Lastly, Min Do Hyuk is also caught up in the complicated situation after he gets lied to regarding the killer of his mother and brother.
Matthew Lee was the one behind the group's survival after they were brought to a secluded island. Here, everything that you can imagine can happen.
A wild flesh-eating creature out in the open, earthquakes, and mysterious flowers caused mayhem among the group.
