Chief Ahn (played by Jo Woo-Jin), the head of the Korean intelligence bureau, attempts to hide Seo Bok’s existence from the public, so he assigns Ki-Heon a mission to protect Seo Bok.

In the history, Seo Bok 서복 徐福 (Xu Bu in Chinese pronunciation) is a legendary Chinese man who left to find a herb for immortality in order to fulfill the desire of China’s first emperor. According to the legend, however, he never returned to the emperor and founded a new country somewhere on the eastern islands. The movie director said he borrowed a motif from this legend, and wants to talk about the story of eternal life.
