Baek XX introduces a gripping story of twin brothers—Baek Yisu, a federal informant, and Baek Dogyeong, a criminal gang boss—who have led vastly different lives despite sharing the same face.
When Yisu is betrayed by the very gang he was working to infiltrate, he makes a bold decision to assume his brother’s identity, taking on the dangerous role of a gang leader. This sudden switch between the law and the criminal underworld sets the stage for an intense and suspenseful story filled with deception, power struggles, and moral dilemmas.
Plot of the Manhwa
What makes Baek XX fascinating is the complex dynamic between the two brothers. Yisu, who has always lived by the law, now finds himself entangled in the very world he was trying to take down. His transition from federal agent to gang boss is fraught with tension, as he must not only find the dangerous waters of criminal politics but also protect his true identity. On the other hand, the mystery surrounding Dogyeong’s fate and whether he will eventually resurface adds an additional layer of intrigue to the plot.
The story thrives on its duality, both in terms of the characters and the themes. Yisu’s internal conflict as he balances his sense of justice with the need to survive in a violent, cutthroat world creates an ongoing psychological battle that is as compelling as the external threats he faces. His struggle to maintain control over the gang while avoiding detection from law enforcement and rival criminals is a tightrope act that keeps the tension high throughout the series.
