Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Kim Sun-Joo (Park Sung-Woong) is a developer and the founder and CEO of an IT company. One day, without knowing why, he is chased by someone who is trying to kill him. He gets stabbed by that person and as he senses death looming, he feels his spirit being sucked into his smartphone. His spirit then gets stuck in the smartphone.
Park In-Sung (Chae Jong-Hyeop) is a diligent young man, who comes from a poor family background. He has been looking for a job ever since he graduated from a university, but it has been difficult. One day, while he is picking mushrooms on a mountain to make money, he discovers a strange smartphone. The smartphone contains Kim Sun-Joo’s stuck spirit.
