In modern-day South Korea, a supernatural alien named Guard (Kim Woo Bin) and a flying robot sidekick named Thunder manage prisoners who are “locked” into human bodies and brains. They are now on a quest to thwart a group of evil aliens to escape their human forms. Meanwhile, back in the year 1391, a bounty hunter and Taoist magician named Muruk (Ryu Jun Yeol) is on his own quest for a powerful sword known as the Divine Blade, as is a young pistol-wielding woman named Lee An (Kim Tae Ri). Both hope to swap the sword for a massive reward, as do a host of other rival opportunistic bounty hunters...

Things get a little complicated, however, when the appearance of a spacecraft in both Guard’s time and that of Muruk and Lee An appears to open up a portal between the two times. All of a sudden, Guard and his companions find themselves catapulted back into the past, and confronted with someone from his own past! The race to find the Divine Blade is really heating up now, with the evil alien mastermind ready to play a decisive card. Can the forces of good beat their evil foes in a final, chaotic showdown?

The three men find themselves kidnapped and aboard a North Korean nuclear submarine. Political chaos threatens to break loose – and the East Asian nations, as well as the United States, find themselves edging toward the brink of nuclear war.

Taek Il (Park Jung Min) is 18 and unhappy with his lot. His life is going nowhere, much like the faulty motorbike he bought online and now can’t get to work. After a bitter quarrel with his nagging mother, he decides to run away from home to a town named Gunsan where he finds work at a Chinese restaurant. He has a run-in with the restaurant’s cook, the burly and ostensibly ill-tempered Geo Seok (Ma Dong Seok). Although they get off on the wrong foot, they start to develop an unorthodox friendship, which mostly involves baiting each other and threatening one another with violence. Little by little, Taek Il begins to understand that Geo Seok is hiding a mysterious and unhappy secret.

Things get even more hectic for Taek Il when his best friend Sang Pil (Jung Hae In), who is trying to support his ailing grandmother, who is struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, reveals that he is to take up a job in “finance” – a position that turns out to involve little more than collecting debts for unscrupulous loan sharks. The trio embarks on a journey of discovery as they try to carve out a future for themselves in an uncertain world…

This film was based on a web-based cartoon series named “Start” by author Jo Geum San.

Now forced to face even more heartache, as she watches her aging mother lose her battle with dementia, Hee Yeon decides it’s time to make a drastic change.

Moving her family to the countryside where her mother grew up, Hee Yeon hopes that settling into a nice house on the edge of a serene wood, will help ease both her mother’s mind and her own aching heart. Hopeful that this new life will bring with it a much needed breath of calm, Hee Yeon happily embraces this chance to start over. But her hope is replaced by all the old feelings of hopelessness and guilt on the day Hee Yeon discovers a little girl lost in the forest near their home. Unable to resist the urge to help the child, Hee Yeon takes her in, hearing the voice of her lost son anytime the girl speaks. But whatever glimmer of redemption Hee Yeon finds in the girl is short-lived as inexplicable things begin happening to the family shortly after she moves in.

It isn’t long before Hee Yeon begins to wonder if she hasn’t made some terrible mistake, bringing this girl home; especially not after she finds herself wondering if this little girl is even human at all.
