   Summary

   Taking a daring idea into light now that he was finally a master of diving, Yoo Joonghyuk finds himself diving illegally outside of their borders at night with his diving crew.

   Taking interest in the sketchy area, he goes as far as to push his own limits to satisfy his curiosity of the deep waters and its wonders.

   …Until he sees a creature straight from folklores.

    

   Does the adrenaline rush outweigh the tremendous risks?
