Ujin Kang was just another face in the crowd, living a completely unremarkable life until the universe threw him a wild curveball. He discovers a bizarre, supernatural ability: every time he opens a script, he is dragged into a mysterious dimension where he literally lives out the character’s life. When he returns to reality, his performances aren't just acting—they are raw, hauntingly real experiences.
