Junsung (Yoo Seung-ho) and Jaehyo (Kim Dong-hwi) reunite with their high schoolmate Minwoo (Yoo Su-bin) and the three spend the night drinking together. The next morning, Jaehyo calls Minwoo’s mother and says, “I have your son. Prepare one billion won.” The Deal is an ironic kidnapping drama that unfolds between characters in dire situations. Jaehyo, a medical school student, faces being expelled for cheating, while Junsung is burdened with overwhelming debt from loan sharks before his military enlistment—situations that drive the two to crime. Meanwhile, Suan (Lee Joo-young), a police academy student living next door, becomes suspicious and begins to investigate. Yesterday’s friends become today’s kidnappers and tomorrow’s accomplices, as the gripping narrative keeps audience members on the edge of their seats. (SONG Kyung-won)
