Synopsis
Popular super-cop Han Do-Ryeong is defeated by mysterious villain Blackdog, forcing him into hiding where he meets Park Rosa.
Since the advent of special abilities in humans, no one could rival the popularity of police officer Han Do-Ryeong. He is good-looking, kind, and one of the few people born with multiple strong talents. His skills make him exceptionally well-equipped to apprehend superpowered criminals and have led to a significant decrease in crime in South Korea. That is why an unknown individual causes a major commotion by dominating a fight against the police and even managing to harm the untouchable Do-Ryeong. The Bureau of Special Abilities swiftly dubs the gas mask-wearing villain "Blackdog" and determines that the terrorist is targeting Do-Ryeong specifically. Forced to take a leave of absence for his own safety, Do-Ryeong worries about the uncertain future. If Blackdog could overpower him so easily, then there is nobody else the public can turn to for protection. By chance, Do-Ryeong meets a young woman named Park Rosa. Unbeknownst to him, she is the solution to his problem—in more ways than one.
