While playing an online-role playing game at an internet cafe, a teenage boy, who plays the game obsessively gets his account hacked into, and when he's finally able to connect to the game again, he discovers his on-line character that he has spent so much time building up has been stripped of all its experience and possessions. He then decides to rectify this matter by finding the other player who stole his inventory and weapons, who is a player who uses the name Viagra and apparently lives in a building called Paradise Villa. The people who live in this particular building all have their own unique story lines.

The building's residents include: the building's landlord who is cheating on his wife with a young female resident of the building who happens to be autistic, the landlord's son and one of his friends who place video cameras in rooms of the building's residents to tape their sexual experiences and sell on the black market, a saleswoman who is desperate to sell a water purification system and pushes the product on all its residents, a salary man and a piano teacher who are having an affair have a gruesome accident, an older male resident who roots so fervently for the Korea's national team he once had a heart attack during a game, a female tenant who is an aspiring actress and singer but must deal with the fact that she bears a striking resemblance to a famous porn star. When the young teenage role-playing game addict arrives at Paradise Villa, everyone's focus is on a soccer match between Korea and Japan while he is intent on finding Viagra and will kill anybody who gets in his way. -- KFC Cinema
