Sonny has been hired to eradicate the feral canines plaguing the town, while sensitive Hajoon figures out what it means to be a man. Finally, young Hana, missing her mother, dreams up ways to make her return."  Starring Sein Jin, Jae-Hyun Kim, Da-Nu Nam, and Candyce Weir. Thank you @jeromeoyoo, production co.
