Plot

This story takes place in the year 4240 since Dangun’s founding of Gojoseon (1907 AD), when Hannom meets historical figures such as Eulji Mundeok and Gang Gam-chan in a dream and attains enlightenment about the nation. When Eulji Mundeok tells him that he must fight against foreign powers, Hannom sets out with his six friends, but they all disappear and Hannom ends up in hell, lured by a beautiful woman, and is scolded for his sins against the nation. He arrives at Im Country where the ancestors of the Korean people are gathered, but learns that in order to enter the country he needs to shed tears for the nation.
