Ji-na had long suffered in the shadows of her older sister, Ji

It is no wonder Ji-na developed an inferiority complex, and she
resents her family for it. As soon as she graduated from
college, she fled to Busan where she began working at a
luxury hotel as a temporary worker. With plans to marry a
sharply dressed, high end restaurant running boyfriend, plus
an upcoming promotion to full time, things are finally looking
up for Ji-na. One day, Ji-na gets a call from her worried father
after receiving a strange text from Ji-hyun. Eventually, Ji-na
finds herself back home at Rose Mansion, an old apartment
she grew up in.
Yoon Kyun-sang (as Min-soo)
30, Detective at Homicide Team 3.
A detective at the police station near Rose Mansion. His
colleagues all think that Ji-hyun’s case is just a missing
person case, but he’s the only one who believes Ji-na’s
words and helps her investigate. He’s the persistent type:
once he gets fixated on something, he has to see it through
until the very end. He believes that when it comes to
people, there’s always more than what meets the eye. He
also knows the ins and outs of Rose Mansion more than
anyone else
