Dokkaebi

Since childhood, Jihye has been burdened with the ability to see supernatural entities that were never meant for human eyes. Now an adult navigating the demands of a mundane office job, she lives each day in quiet peril, constantly bracing for unseen dangers. Her fragile routine shatters completely when she discovers her boyfriend of nine years has been unfaithful. Heartbroken and adrift on her way home from their final confrontation, she unexpectedly crosses paths with a dokkaebi who is wandering the mortal world in search of the elusive Mountain Spirit. The creature presents Jihye with a life-altering proposition: if she assists him in locating the Mountain Spirit, he will permanently cure her sight. Driven by the desperate hope of finally experiencing the peaceful, ordinary existence she has always craved, she accepts his terms. However, their journey quickly draws unwanted attention. Mysterious beings begin observing them from both the shadows and the open light. As they travel together, deeper questions emerge about the ancient ties binding the dokkaebi to the Mountain Spirit—and whether their fateful encounter was truly left to chance.
