    Synopsis A Mysterious Creature Terrorizes Mount Inwangsan
    It’s the 22nd year of Jung Jong. The plague has taken over Joseon, and fear runs rampant in the streets. When rumors of a vicious beast roaming Mount Inwangsan–called “Monstrum” by terrified masses–begin to spread, fear turns into panic. In order to quell the rising panic, Jung Jong brings back his most trusted general Yun Kyum from retirement. Joined by his daughter Myung, his right-hand man Sung Han, and royal court officer Hur, Yun Kyum sets out to find the mysterious creature.
    Is the creature, Monstrum real? Or a figment of the fearful mass’ imagination? Will the people of Joseon ever live in peace again?
