The Man in Black

It's the Joseon dynasty, and a series of corpses have been discovered in the outskirts of the capital near Mt. Inwangsan. All of them have wide open eyes and five long, deep cuts across their chests. But who could be responsible? Gyeong-ho, a body handler from the coroner's office, has no leads until he is approached by a pair of long, flaming yellow eyes.
