Do-jin is in the first class at high-school, but his mother is not satisfied with his study result. She chooses to have Do-jin get a 'no sleep for 5 years' surgery. Thanks to the surgery, Do-jin graduated from high-school with honors and enters the best university in the country, Seoul National University.
However, some side effects start kicking in and he buys some sleep at store until they are sold out. So he makes an ultimate decision.
I'm always chased by time. This world asks us to sleep less than others and use more time wisely than others to be a better person.
I chose 'no sleep surgery' which is quite unrealistic to talk about today's problem. What would happen if this world is filled with those people who never sleep.
