Baek Yisu, a federal informant, and Baek Dogyeong, a ruthless gang boss, are identical twin brothers who chose completely different paths in life. When Yisu is betrayed by the criminal organization he infiltrated, he abandons his identity and takes his brother’s place. Now living as the head of a violent gang, Yisu must navigate betrayal, power struggles, and suspicion from every direction. As law and crime collide within one man, the line between justice and survival begins to blur.
Mr. Baek thrives on tension born from deception. The identity swap isn’t just a plot device—it’s a constant threat. Every conversation risks exposure, and every decision pushes Yisu closer to becoming the very thing he once hunted.
The series excels at portraying the psychological toll of living a double life. Rather than glorifying crime, it exposes the paranoia, isolation, and moral decay that come with absolute power.
Perfect for readers who enjoy crime thrillers driven by mind games rather than raw violence.
