The Fish I Was Selling Was Already Dead
Opening scene
“I haven't looked at today's fish yet.”
How it begins
A fish is floating in the sales tank. The moment Heeju spots it, she covers it with a bucket. Then buyer Taeseo speaks up from the front door: "I haven't looked at today's fish yet." Her business partner, Myeongho, points to the next tank and whispers: just give him that one. Heeju moves a lookalike into the carrier, but Taeseo asks about the fin shape of the fish he was promised. Myeongho chimes in—would he take it unchecked for a lower price? Heeju can see both men know she's desperate and are reshaping the whole deal, but she doesn't even have the money to refund his deposit.
The rest, we'll show you once it's made.
She hid a dead fish. Can she still save the last deal?
Reactions help us decide what to make first. Production and release timing are not promised.
