sageuk/supernatural thriller
What it’s about
Working on behalf
of a shady government agency that collects evidence of otherworldly
doings, a young official is drawn into the investigation of
supernatural occurrences. This mind-bending drama was inspired by the
American show The X-files and
covers some of the same ground—Vampires! Aliens! Ghosts! Mysterious
smoking men!—but
has a plot and characters of its own.
First impressions
Audacious and fun,
this is an
intriguing chimera of sageuk trappings and sci-fi soul, focusing on
the appearance of a mysterious “flying ship” that happens to be
an exact match for modern-day depictions of alien spacecraft.
