Dreaming of the Dokkaebi

Plagued by a mysterious curse since childhood, Ju Min-Chan endured relentless fevers that made his early years a constant struggle. Now a young adult, his affliction has escalated into severe seizures, leaving him with only one desperate method of survival: hunting spirits to temporarily suppress the violent episodes. However, this fragile lifeline is beginning to fail. As the seizures grow more frequent and unpredictable, the once-effective practice of spirit hunting steadily loses its power, pushing Min-Chan closer to an inevitable breaking point. When rumors surface regarding a formidable entity capable of shattering his curse entirely, Min-Chan sees a final glimmer of hope. Fully aware of the grave dangers involved in tracking down such a powerful being, he throws himself into the hunt without hesitation, determined to break free from his cruel fate. Yet, as he closes in on his ultimate salvation, a far more unsettling truth emerges. The path to lifting the curse reveals that Min-Chan was never meant to walk the quiet, ordinary life he so desperately sought, binding him instead to a destiny far more extraordinary than he ever imagined.
