produced by KIM JHO Gwang-soo, LEE Sun-mi

In 1789,

a blood-sucking monster appeared

and wreaked havoc on the country.

This is an account of that monster.

It sucked human blood and could fly.

It was mighty strong and

healed instantly upon injury.

CLASSIFIED:

The only way to kill such a monster

was to burn it.

Life by blood. Death by fire.

Blood gave it life.

Fire killed it.

Over there!

Find him at once!

Scour the hills!

- Over there!

- Get him!

That way!

Get him!

Hunt him down!

Find him before the dawn.

Where is it?

Who

am I?

Search everywhere!

Find him before daybreak!

Hurry!

Do you know me?

Find him! Hurry!

What is this?

Who are you and who am I?

Over there!

Shoot her!

Let's go!

Yes, sir!

DETECTIVE K:
SECRET OF THE LIVING DEAD

What are you looking for?

What's here for us to do this, sir?

There's a vampire here.

Vampire? What's that?

A blood-sucking monster!

Bloodless bodies were found

in villages this circus visited.

There must be a vampire here.

That makes no sense!

I heard the magic you do is quite famous.

Well,

let's see what you've got.

Yes, sir! I'm sure you'll be pleased.

WOL-GYO GARDEN

THE FANTASTIC DUO

Real swords?

Yes! He puts a man in

a box and stabs it!

That's crazy.

The box is too small.

There'll be room to avoid the swords.

Don't worry.

There's no room to avoid them!

Magic is just trickery. Trust me.

But I can't trust you!

Help me! Help!

It's too tight in here!

Mommy!

Sir!

Please let me out!

There's no room to hide!

Take it out, jerk!

Oh my!

It's blood!

Is he dead?

Are you all right?

I avoided them all.

Blood...

He's bleeding!

I said the box was too

small, you son of a...

Seo-pil!

Help! My daughter is missing!

Eon-nyeon!

Please find my daughter!

Where are you mommy?

Mommy! Where are you?

Mommy!

Mommy!

You evil vampire!

You killed innocent lives to save yours!

How dare you!

My hunch was right.

Your curiosity will be the death of you!

This time, I'll strike your head!

Stop!

Father.

Let's stop now.

No, son!

Not a vampire, but a porphyrya patient?

With low oxygen in the blood,

you get heart palpitations,

shortness of breath, and heart enlargement.

You killed innocent lives

to fill your lack of blood!

My son is innocent. It's all my fault.

Though you did it to save your son,

your sins are no different

from those of vampires.

Do you expect to live after what you did?

HONG TAE-MUN

What vampires?

Are you going through puberty again?

Having strange thoughts?

Vampires exist.

It's because you're not busy.

You lost your post.

The women you come on to, dump you.

Do something!

Such a pity that you think

the world is so puny.

In 1742, a report was made

about Scholar Choi and his servant.

The servant saw a mysterious light.

Then Choi vanished without a trace.

And the peculiar plague years ago...

The world is full of

unbelievable incidents.

Who's to say vampires don't exist?

Do you have proof?

30 years ago,

a Westerners' ship headed for

China ran aground in Joseon.

There are records of

vampire sightings then.

Come on, sir.

Cut the nonsense and do

your detective work.

Aren't you paying me rent?

Stop roaming and go back

to your nice house.

Then I'll have to get married!

If you must, why not?

I don't wish to marry without love.

Then tell your father that.

- He decided who I'll marry.

- So what?

You're good at speaking your mind.

Can't you talk to your father?

It's your life, sir!

Just say no!

Say you're not marrying a

stranger without love.

I did!

I told him it's my life and

he can't decide for me.

And?

I got slapped.

He's firm.

I thought the Premier would be different.

Your Majesty!

PREMIER KIM SHIN

Anticipation for the Full Moon Fest

is high throughout Joseon.

People of all ages are working hard

to prepare a greater fest than

the one 30 years ago, sir.

Recently, 10,000 people worked

on fortifying our forts.

It must be hard for them to work

for the Full Moon Fest too.

Thus, I shall grant a small reward

to the workers.

Set rice as the only tributary.

And have aristocrats pay

for the military cloth as well.

I, Premier Kim Shin, request

to speak, Your Majesty.

His Majesty's mercy and heart

for the people is like heaven.

However,

if aristocrats pay the same as peasants,

what makes them different, sir?

It'll destroy class distinction

and shake the basis of Joseon, sir.

Please, Your Majesty!

Please retract your command, sir!

Even the king can't have his way with him.

Any functional problems in getting married?

Why you little!

Excuse me.

Who?

It's scorched rice tea.

Thank you.

It has a rich, deep flavor.

I did a great job making it.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the daughter of the

owner of Yeon-mi Lodge.

How could we be of help?

Recently, while repairing

building in Ganghwa,

the roof suddenly caved

in and many workers died.

While burying the dead,

two corpses were discovered.

One was a skeleton and

the other was burned.

However, the burnt one

wasn't decayed at all.

But that's not all!

While they went to report it,

The corpse disappeared!

Only the burnt corpse vanished!

Then another incident happened soon after.

It was quite peculiar.

Some say a man burned

to death by an invisible fire.

He died but was not dead.

He lived but did not live!

Some say it's the revenge of those

who died in the Ganghwa Hall fire.

The Full Moon Fest is taking

place after 30 years.

My father has been ordered

by the court to prepare it.

However, he is ill and can't

see to such problems.

I've come to ask you to

solve the mysteries for us.

It won't be easy.

Serial killings can't be ruled out.

I heard you are the best

in all of Joseon, sir.

I'm not the best.

I'm the best of the best!

It's sad that I can only

explain myself that way.

He's a little arrogant.

I see.

Let's talk accommodations.

Will it have two rooms

or one with living room?

One with living room, sir.

Inside bathroom or outside?

Inside, sir.

And breakfast?

Provided, sir.

Deal! Let's go.

GANGHWA ISLAND:

3 DAYS AFTER

HONG TAE-MUN'S DEATH

You haven't found it yet?

I know who has it, sir.

Please give me a few more days.

GANGHWA HALL:

Do you know me?

Who are you?

The guest door is that way.

The owner's daughter asked me to come.

I'm a detective.

It's about the mysterious deaths here.

Your sister asked us to

come and investigate.

I don't know why she did that.

I don't know of such things.

I'm Kim Min.

He's a very famous detective, sir.

He solved the fake silver case and

even had dinner with the king.

I don't think he knows.

What if I explain it like this?

He got drunk before His Majesty and said,

'This isn't your country, pal!'

After the rude fiasco,

he was sent into exile.

That's him.

He's Premier Kim Shin's...

I'm Choi Jae-kyung. Please come inside.

- Your fame has reached even Ganghwa Island!
