Won Mi-Ho has been "exiled" to Jeju Island after being involved in a controversy and made headlines for the worst "gapjil case" (gapjil is an expression referring to an arrogant and authoritarian attitude or actions of people in South Korea who are using abuse of their powers).
She was assigned as the ethics teacher at Tamago High School. Eventually, her life begins to take a drastic change after encountering monsters, and is targeted by the goblins as their prey. Her only savior and protector from the monsters' claws are the so-called 'monster-hunter.' The drama will put the puzzles of their fate and destiny together.
