Synopsis
In a modern setting with an East Asian folk flavor, a secret state agency called Narye-cheong protects people from evil spirits and the disasters they cause. Its lead investigator, Yoon Tae-hee, is charming on the surface and cold underneath, and he needs a successor who can see and hear ghosts. Working undercover in a provincial town, he runs into Kim Jae-gyeom, a guarded high school student made immortal by events in his past.
