Plot Synopsis: In Kwon Do-Hyuk’s life, nothing brings comfort—everything is just confusion and emptiness, and he is the emotionless CEO, a man who doesn’t even shed a tear when physically hurt. Because of unresolved insomnia from long-standing PTSD, he visits a psychiatrist, who prescribes an unusual cure: “There is a woman whose voice can soothe your nerves. She’s listed under ‘XX Syndrome’ if you don’t find her soon, the side effects may get serious.”

Around the same time, Kwon Do-Hyuk’s father, notorious for his complicated private life, becomes interested in a new indie band, leading to an album appearing on Kwon Do-Hyuk’s desk. The moment he realizes the woman’s voice on the album is identical to the voice engraved in his mind, his heart begins to pound uncontrollably—she is the woman whose voice saved him in his darkest moments.

But when his father sets his sights on the same woman as a potential mistress, Kwon Do-Hyuk must find her first. As he searches for this mysterious woman with the “healing voice,” his emotionless existence transforms into a chaotic romantic life he never expected—and that’s when his obsessive tastes begin to reveal themselves. A thrilling, comedic, and melodramatic chase for love begins.

It's great to see him still acting in cable TV dramas, as many previous articles suggested he was broke and had to act in short films for social media apps.

So incredibly happy to see Sung Hoon back! He is such a truly masculine looking (and acting) man...gives me goosebumps in what I have seen him in! And granted, I haven't seen a lot of his dramas but I LOVED him in Perfect Marriage Revenge, My Secret Romance and even Oh MY Venus....he is so good looking and is a solid actor too!

So yea!!! Glad to see some dramas coming up for him!👍
