Then, we get a glimpse of Jun Ji-hyun, who seems to be on an arduous journey. She’s climbing what looks like Jirisan in the midst of harsh winter conditions.

Following that, we get a closer look at Ju Ji-hoon, who is now in a forest. He is carrying a rucksack and wears a shocked expression on his face. Ji-hoon finds something in the mountain and flashes a torchlight at it.

The scene suddenly darkens as Jun Ji-hyun climbs up a flight of stairs beside a stream of gushing water. The weather condition is not in her favour as rain pours down and lightning strikes.

Ju Ji-hoon plays the role of Kang Hyun-jo, a newbie park ranger. Although he is not as skilled as Yi-kang, he has a personal story that drives him to become a park ranger.

This suspenseful drama revolves around Seo Yi-kang, Kang Hyun-jo, and the mountain climbers who visit Jirisan. 

These visitors do not simply ascend and descend some don’t make it down alive. There are people who kill fellow climbers, while others take their own lives
