Title auto-translated
by Bokbok
In the Joseon era, when unsanctioned folk worship is strictly forbidden, a newly appointed magistrate named Seo Yeon arrives on a southern island to find the villagers venerating a great serpent and offering up human sacrifices each year. Furious at what he dismisses as superstition, Yeon storms into the snake's lair — and nearly pays with his life when the massive creature attacks. Just when all seems lost, a red-haired woman appears, one who had herself been offered as a sacrifice, and she dispatches the serpent with a power that defies explanation. In the dark of the cave, surrounded by the creature's remains, Yeon stares at her, transfixed. He cannot look away from her red hair. He would later think — it must have started right then.
