Synopsis: It’s the 22nd year of Jungjong. The plague has taken over Joseon, and fear runs rampant in the streets. When rumours of a vicious beast roaming Mount Inwangsan – called “Monstrum” by the terrified masses – begin to spread, fear turns into panic. In order to quell the rising panic, Jungjong brings back his most trusted general, Yoon-gyeom from retirement. Joined by his daughter Myeong, his right-hand man Seong-han, and royal court officer Heo, Yoon-gyeom sets out to find the mysterious creature. Is the creature, Monstrum real? Or a figment of the fearful masses’ imagination? Will the people of Joseon ever live in peace again?
