In short: a blond sociopath—a psychopath—is utterly obsessed with a boy bearing a scar on his face. His own family practices shamanism and rituals, yet he alone is blind to the spirits, unable to perceive or connect with them.
The scarred boy possesses a supernatural gift: he can see ghosts and spirits and allows them to possess his body. This ability made him a brilliant actor.
A gangster, who has always been in love with the scarred boy's older brother, used to follow them around in their youth. His initial role was to extort money from them, but it evolved into something else—he became their unlikely protector and supporter.
The older brother, a man who wears glasses, and the blond's uncle are also key figures.
The Plot.
The uncle, harboring a deep dislike for his nephew, one day forced him into a remote cave inhabited by a particularly malevolent spirit.
This spirit offered the boy a contract: it would grant his desires in exchange for a price. The blond's greatest wish was to be with the scarred boy forever.
Soon after, the scarred boy was involved a terrible accident that left his face scarred and ended his acting career.
Another of the blond's desires was to become him (?). And so he did—he became a hugely famous actor, landing premier roles.
The narrative also weaves in the concept of the red string of fate—the thread that, according to Chinese legend, connects two destined souls by their pinkies.
Originally, the scarred boy's red thread was tied to the gangster's. But the malevolent spirit's interference severed that bond. Now, his thread is tied to a black, rotten one—belonging to the psychotic blond.
Throughout this haunting, the spirits subject the scarred boy to sexual harassment. The blond, unhinged by his obsession, commits heinous acts under the guise of helping him.
A secondary character, another actor, also becomes entangled in this web.
The core of the story is a tragic revelation: the scarred boy finally falls in love with his tormentor, only to discover his most terrible secret—that he was the architect of his ruin. In the devastating aftermath, he flees and blonde desides to make one last, terrifying new pact with the spirit, setting the stage for an unspeakable horror to unfold.
