Description:

Hopeless plunges viewers into a town where despair is the only constant. Seventeen-year-old Yeon Gyu, trapped in a cycle of abuse, clings to a single dream: escaping to the Netherlands with his mother. His path crosses with Chi Geon, a street-hardened mid-level boss in the local criminal underworld, who understands the town's brutal realities. After Yeon Gyu fights to protect his stepsister and faces financial ruin, Chi Geon offers a lifeline, pulling him into his gang. Though initially terrified, Yeon Gyu gradually adapts under Chi Geon’s mentorship, forming a bond akin to brothers. As Yeon Gyu gains trust and fights for his place, the line between survival and complicity blurs. This intense drama explores how, in the struggle to break free from a hellish existence, one can inadvertently become its very fabric.
