Yoo Jin-woo (Hyun Bin) is the CEO of a "smart contact lens" company. While Jin-woo is attending an industry in Barcelona, Spain, he receives a frantic, panicky call from an unknown young man ([[Music/{{EXO}} Chanyeol]]) who has something to sell Jin-woo. Jin-woo is intrigued enough by the call to fly from Barcelona to Granada. The young man's last panicked words on the phone call were to meet him at the Bonita Hostel, a youth hostel in Granada that caters to Koreans. Jin-woo arrives at the hostel and meets its pretty owner, Jung Hee-joo (Park Shin-hye). He is less than impressed by the dilapidated hostel, and he insults Hee-joo, but he stays there anyway in hopes of meeting the young man.

* ChristianityIsCatholic: The only two Christian churches that show up in Seoul in-series are both Catholic churches; in fact, one of them holds Cha Hyeong-seok's memorial service, mostly following the procedure of a typical Mass (and the priest refers to him as "Michael Cha", which is presumably his baptismal name), and most of the women in attendance even wear the traditional-Catholic ''mantilla'', or church veil. Jin-woo later meets up with Emma (Hee-ju's virtual avatar) at the other Catholic church, where he even makes the sign of the cross, which he picked up from Cha's memorial.

That second church in fact also hosts the climax of the series, where Emma [[spoiler:attempts to kill Jin-woo by stabbing him with the Key of Heaven dagger, as if he's a system bug to be deleted; Jin-woo "puts the other dead users at peace" by stabbing them with the blade himself, which renders them into virtual dust; and where, after completing Se-ju's quest, becomes the Master and "disappears". Hee-ju keeps hoping to find him in that same church the full year afterward.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WhamShot: [[spoiler:When Jin-woo finally presents the Key of Heaven to Emma, she takes it from him—and opens it to reveal a dagger, which she ''stabs in his heart'', because he's apparently a system bug, and she's programmed to delete them. He survives and gets the key back, obviously.]]
