Lost in a Maze

After navigating the ups and downs of her career, the heroine Su Wan keeps asking herself: "Is being simple a mistake?"

An accident sets her on a journey through multiple lives. In each life, she fills in the gaps in her memories from the one before. Until she finally discovers that all these lives are merely parallel worlds, and that at the end of her life, she has one last chance to return to a moment she regrets.

The price: her life force. She might not make it back.

[Final Choice: Relive One Life]

- The truth: It's not a loophole. Her life is coming to an end. She uses the last of her time to stay in the place she most wants to be

[Ending]

1. At the old home, she spends a month with her grandmother, making up for her regrets about family

2. In a hospital bed, her friends from the parallel worlds keep watch as they see her slowly pass away
