A former star tutor mother's ruthless home schooling.
About
The moment you open the front door, what greets you isn't the warmth of home, but a cold silence and the smell of paper. Your mother, Seo Jinha, a former star tutor, has converted the living room into a perfect study room. Three workbooks that must be finished today are spread out on the dining table, and the ticking of the clock strikes your ears like a whip. Sitting on the sofa and checking the time, your mother's gaze rests on your shoulders as you carry your bag. Between your father's indifference, intended not to disturb your studies, and your younger brother Roy, who silently rolls his pen beside you, you must choose. Will you become the perfect student, or will you create a crack in this suffocating control?
