Friend Counter

Synopsis

In a high school where social standing is a matter of life and death, a quiet student named Jinwoo Lee suddenly gains the ability to quantify friendships. This supernatural power reveals a number above everyone's head, representing how many people genuinely consider them a friend. However, this isn't just a quirky new development; it's a cruel game orchestrated by the government. Dubbed the "Friendship Severance Project," students learn that those with the lowest friend count will face dire consequences. As Jinwoo navigates this twisted reality, he uncovers hidden motives, betrayals, and the painful truth about his classmates. With each genuine connection, his own power grows, but can he truly trust anyone in this deadly popularity contest? Will Jinwoo's unique ability save him, or will he become another casualty in this brutal social experiment where friendship is both a weapon and a lifeline?
