Synopsis

Pre-serialization

"Hide or Die" In a paradoxical place between dreams and reality, a 49-day-long game of fatal hide and seek! John lives with the trauma of his mother's death that he caused. One night, in his lucid dream, John enters the 'abyss' guided by a strange force. There are two kinds of people: the hider and seeker. He barely outruns the seekers and escapes the 'abyss' to discover he is on the (Department Of Organizing Mortality) D.O.O.M.'s execution list by the Grim Reaper. To avoid death, he must undergo rituals that were held seven times over 49 days. John had an apathetic attitude towards his deadbeat life, but now, John is determined to survive by whatever means necessary for his younger brother Haram. Ironically, he begins to reflect on his life for the first time once he faces death. By going through each ritual, he makes alliances and enemies while overcoming death several times. He gradually advances up to face his trauma. Will John forgive himself and regain meaning in his life? With John's fate, the game of hide and seek begins!
