"In winter of 1917, deep in the mountains of Pyong'an Province, a hunter who fights hunger and chases animals in the extreme cold, happen to save a Japanese officer from a tiger attack. Through this meeting, their lives become connected as if by fate, and a story spanning half a century unfolds. Hunters, soldiers, courtesans, gangsters, students, businessmen, revolutionaries... Eventful lives are tightly intertwined with a string called 'fate'. They meet, part, and reunite, beautifully embroidering the history of the Korean Peninsula for the first half of the 20th century."-- translation of Korean summary.
