What Is Virus About?
The premise of Virus without spoilers.
A strange virus emerges, causing those infected to experience intense feelings of love that ultimately prove fatal. Taek-seon, a man who finds no joy in life, contracts the virus and is approached by researcher Gyun. She hopes to use him to test a potential cure she’s developing.
