Day Sleepers

By V. Red

The echo of keystrokes felt wrong. Something was off. An unnatural silence had taken over the entire fourth floor. He stood, uneasy, and checked the other teams. 'What the hell? What's wrong with everyone?' Not just the neighboring team. The entire floor... motionless. Asleep. The silence clung to the air, heavy and suffocating.... 'It's definitely 3 p.m...'

People suddenly fall asleep in broad daylight. They all share 'one dream', and it spreads rapidly, like a plague. The infected become emotionless, and the world spirals toward its end. Seunghwan, the only one awake, struggles to save his family by navigating between dream and reality. Yet, with each crucial choice he faces, he finds himself losing more and more of who he once was.

Do you crave biting satire wrapped in a uniquely Korean black comedy?
The only country to achieve both rapid economic growth and democratization - yet still divided by the remnants of the Cold War: Korea.
The shadows of dictatorship and authoritarianism linger, creeping into everyday life. But the people? They want.... just to be happy.
Brace yourself for a story that's darkly hilarious, brutally honest, and unapologetically Korean. Where absurdity meets reality, and laughter cuts deep.
