Plot
The story of Let Dai revolves around forbidden love and betrayal. Set in a soulless neo-Seoul ruled by young punks and pleasure seekers where lives the amoral teenage protagonist named Dai who is the living embodiment of the city's beauty and cruelty. As the leader of the vicious Furies gang, Dai seduces everyone who lays eyes on him, only to blind them to his own barbaric nature. When honest schoolboy Jaehee rescues a beautiful girl from being mugged by the Furies, he doesn't realize how this brief encounter will plunge him into a downward spiral of unbridled passion and unfathomable pain. From his brutal gang initiation to an unspeakable act committed against his girlfriend, the story shows how Jaehee wavers uncomfortably between revulsion and fascination. And in Dai he finds a tender, caring friend one moment and a heartless sociopath the next, awakening strange and unhealthy desires in Jaehee that he could never before have imagined.[2]
