Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Despite unwavering support from his best friend Young-ha and the unwavering support of his younger sister Ye-rin, job seeker Seok Hwan just can't seem to land a job, repeatedly failing interviews. One night, after yet another disastrous interview, he returns home only to be attacked by a group of strangers and killed. But 72 hours after his death, Seok Hwan suddenly opens his eyes as if nothing happened. He soon discovers that he possesses a special ability: no matter how many times he dies, he comes back to life. But there's little time to process his extraordinary new power before a mysterious figure known as Black, who has discovered Hwan's existence, begins hunting him down. Yet with each resurrection, Seok Hwan grows stronger, unleashing powers beyond anything he could have imagined!

“I'll be back, alive.”
