Character A, a young beautiful woman, is introduced to the viewers as a woman obsessed with a man, stalking him wherever he goes, be it on the streets, the office, the laundromat or his home. Her obsession is such that she imagines a future with him as a married couple and describes her “Perfect Wedding”.
Character B, a robust handsome man, is introduced to the viewers as the victim of a stalker but unknown to her existence. Though there are moments where he feels like he is being watched, his suspicions remain unacknowledged by himself.
