About
A creature from Seoul's Han River attacks a riverside park, and a snack-bar vendor's family searches for his daughter after she is taken.
In Seoul, after waste is dumped into the Han River, a large creature emerges from the water and attacks a park by the river. Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) runs a small food stand in the park with his father, Park Hie-bong (Byun Hee-bong). Gang-du's daughter, Park Hyun-seo (Ko Asung), is with him when the creature reaches the crowd. His brother Park Nam-il (Park Hae-il) and sister Park Nam-joo (Bae Doona), an Olympic archer, are also part of the family. After Hyun-seo is taken by the creature, the family begins a search for her.
