The story follows (played by Gong Yoo ), a legendary general from the Goryeo Dynasty who was betrayed and killed by his own king. Instead of passing into the afterlife, he is transformed into a "Dokkaebi"—an immortal goblin—who serves as a protector of souls but is also cursed to watch his loved ones die for centuries.

She offers him what no god can create for himself: ordinary, fleeting, precious presence.
