RYU Kyung-soo (류경수) - Synopsis
In order to make her debut as a food delivery worker, Jiho spends a small fortune to purchase a second-hand electric bike. Things go downhill from there as she delivers her first order to the wrong address and all attempts at trying to fix it cost her more time and money. Despite these frustrations, she never gives up.
“Leave at Door, Bell X” offers a gentle but clear-eyed take on the harsh reality of delivery work as the convenient apps that summon riders masks the fierce competition, physical labour, and small rewards. Ironic developments play out in a perfectly paced story that will have audiences wincing at the mistakes and mishaps while also sympathising with main character Jiho who retains her dignity throughout it all.
