Plot synopsis by AsianWiki: Set in 1999, when some thought the end of the world was coming, Eun Chae-Ni (Park Eun-Bin) lives in the city of Haeseong. Her only relative is her grandmother Kim Jeon-Bok (Kim Hae-Sook), who runs a well-known restaurant in Haeseong. Eun Chae-Ni is an unpredictable person with a bright personality. One day, she is caught in an unexpected incident and suddenly gains supernatural power. When this happens, she is with her neighbors Son Kyeong-Hoon (Choi Dae-Hoon) and Kang Ro-Bin (Im Sung-Jae). They also gain their own supernatural powers, but their supernatural powers are not perfect.
Meanwhile, Lee Woon-Jeong (Cha Eun-Woo) has arrived in Haeseong City from Seoul and works as an official at the local city hall. He is very strict about sticking to his principles and lacks social skills in his job. Outside of town hall, he is a somewhat mysterious person. He discusses the series of disappearances taking place in Haeseong City with Eun Chae-Ni. Ha Won-Do (Son Hyun-Joo) appears to be a calm and rational person, but he has a dark desire behind this veneer. Eun Chae-Ni and his neighbors Son Kyeong-Hoon and Kang Ro-Bin, who unexpectedly gained supernatural powers, fight against a villain who threatens the peace of Haeseong Town.
