1"Kim Mo-mi"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Kim Mo-mi grew up with dreams of becoming a pop star, but was thwarted by her plain looks. By day, she works in an office, and by night, she runs a popular livestream channel where she wears a mask and performs as "Mask Girl". Mo-mi is distraught when she discovers that Park Gi-hoon, her boss and the man whom she has feelings for, is cheating on his wife with Lee A-reum, one of her co-workers. Mo-mi's popularity plummets after she loses her livestream and confesses her woes to a regular Mask Girl viewer, unaware he is her co-worker, Ju Oh-nam.
2"Ju Oh-nam"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Ju Oh-nam is a socially inept loner and a regular viewer of Mask Girl's channel, recognizing her to be Kim Mo-mi based on the distinct moles on both of her hands. Oh-nam falls in love with Mo-mi, but is unable to express his feelings. Mo-mi meets up with a wealthy Mask Girl fan who tries to rape her, but he is knocked out in a scuffle. Oh-nam, stalking Mo-mi, rushes to her aid; he kills the man himself while disposing of the body for her. Traumatized by her experiences, Mo-mi abruptly quits her job and undergoes plastic surgery. Oh-nam tracks down her address and rapes Mo-mi, who stabs him to death in retaliation.
3"Kim Kyung-Ja"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Kim Kyung-ja is Oh-nam's overbearing mother, who struggled to raise him as a single parent. When Oh-nam becomes uncontactable, Kyung-ja has the police break into his apartment, where they find the remains of Oh-nam's victim. Later, the police also find Oh-nam's remains in a suitcase. Kyung-ja believes that Mo-mi, who has been revealed to the public to be Mask Girl, is Oh-nam's murderer, and vows revenge. Kyung-ja's investigation leads her to a woman named Kim Chun-ae, whom she kidnaps and threatens at gunpoint. Chun-ae insists that she is not Mo-mi, but claims to know her.
4"Kim Chun-ae"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Kim Chun-ae tells Kyung-ja that Mo-mi is her rival at the club where they work, and offers to help Kyung-ja get her revenge. However, this is all a lie; Chun-ae and Mo-mi are actually close friends as they grew up similarly ostracized and had extensive plastic surgery in order to start new lives. Mo-mi helps Chun-ae kill her abusive live-in partner, and the pair make their escape. Mo-mi reveals to Chun-ae that she is pregnant with Oh-nam's child. They are confronted by Kyung-ja, and in the melee, Kyung-ja shoots Chun-ae, who bludgeons Kyung-ja in the head before dying from her wound. Mo-mi dumps both of their bodies in a lake. Sometime later, she is arrested.
5"Kim Mi-mo"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Kim Mi-mo is Mo-mi and Oh-nam's biological daughter. As a baby, Mi-mo was given to her grandmother shortly before Mo-mi surrendered to police and was sent to prison. Growing up, Mi-mo is bullied for being Mask Girl's daughter and becomes a loner who frequently lashes out. At a new school, Mi-mo befriends Ye-chun, a compulsive liar who is also a loner. The pair grows extremely close – with Ye-chun implied to secretly have feelings for Mi-mo – and plan to run away together. One day, Mi-mo overhears that the other students have learned that she is the daughter of Mask Girl; Mi-mo beats up Ye-chun, assuming that she told everyone. However, the info was spread by Kyung-ja, who is still alive, working at a food truck parked outside the school.
6"Kim Mo-mi"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
In prison, Mo-mi initially antagonizes An Eun-suk, a prisoner with powerful connections. Years later, an older Mo-mi receives an anonymous letter from Kyung-ja that contains a news article about Mi-mo's troubled life; Mo-mi attempts to escape but fails. After over a month in solitary confinement, Mo-mi seemingly turns over a new leaf and offers to donate her kidney to Eun-suk's daughter, who needs it. Kyung-ja, who has had slight plastic surgery to avoid police, meets Mo-mi and tells her about how she befriended Mi-mo, repeatedly sabotaged her life, and intends for Mo-mi to feel the same pain of the loss of a child.
7"Mi-mo and Mo-mi"Kim Young-hoonKim Young-hoonAugust 18, 2023 (2023-08-18)
Mi-mo runs away to live with Kyung-ja, who is surprised when Mi-mo treats her lovingly. Despite having second thoughts, Kyung-ja attempts to strangle Mi-mo to death in front of a camera. Mo-mi is taken to the hospital for a kidney transplant and escapes. Mo-mi, Ye-chun, and Mi-mo's grandmother individually race to Kyung-ja's house. The trio arrives in time to save Mi-mo, but not before Kyung-ja stabs Mi-mo's grandmother to death. After the police arrive, Kyung-ja attempts to shoot Mi-mo, but Mo-mi sacrifices herself to protect her daughter and dies in Mi-mo's arms while Kyung-ja is shot by police. Afterward, Kyung-ja's crimes are exposed while Mi-mo is taken by Ye-chun's parents as a foster family. In order to cope with her trauma due to her mother's death, Mi-mo watches a childhood video of Mo-mi, who dances at a talent show, thanking her late mother for making her dream to be "loved by everyone".
