When the Magpie Comes

Long ago, a traveling scholar saved a nest of magpies from a serpent's jaws. Overcome with gratitude, the mother magpie swore fealty to the scholar and his descendants for all eternity.

Nowadays, Baek Do-Han thinks the stories his grandfather used to tell him are just that - stories. Rather than thinking about it, he focuses on his career…and his disastrous love life. So naturally, when a super hot man moves in next door, he’s overjoyed. Things seem normal, until Do-Han finds himself in need of help. Praying to the gods he doesn’t think exist, no one is more surprised than he when a magpie swoops in to save the day. And as if things couldn’t get any weirder, Do-Han soon finds himself being followed by a strange man who seems to have been plucked straight out of the past! The man, Kang-Ho, claims to be a magpie sworn to protect him, but why does he have such a problem with the man next door? It seems impossible, but could grandpa’s stories have had some truth to them all along…?
