Premiering on Friday, the 22nd, 'I KILL U' on Wavve follows Sunwoo, played by Kang Ji-young, a former taekwondo prodigy now working part-time jobs. She becomes entangled in a massive conspiracy while trying to pay for her mother's medical bills, leading to a hard-boiled action saga. Kang Ji-young takes on dual roles as both the underprivileged Sunwoo and the wealthy heiress Ji-yeon, while Lee Gi-kwang plays Ji-yeon's half-brother, Ho-jung.
