The Bacchus Lady is a poignant drama centering on So Young, a street-based sex worker in her 60s who caters to elderly men. Despite her challenging profession, she lives a peaceful life alongside her neighbors, including her transgender landlady Ti Na, a poor figurine artist named Do Hoon, and Min Ho, a young half-Korean half-Filipino boy. However, her quiet existence is shattered when she visits Song, a regular client paralyzed by a stroke, who begs her to end his suffering. Torn between deep guilt and compassion, So Young ultimately decides to help him. This fateful choice triggers a dark chain of events as other elderly clients, desperate to escape their painful realities, seek her assistance to die.
