In a small Korean village, five hundred years ago, a girl named Narin was born with a Youijoo(a magical pearl that bestow omnipotence)inside her.

About the Author
It was the biggest ambition of Korean filmmaker/director Shim Hyung Rae, that his previous movie "Yonggary" aka "Reptilian", which had a same theme too but a very low grossing movie, by the way of the computer science and technology are mastered here with his Yonggu Arts and Entertainment company, made it perfectly clear that the director has made a far, far away progress from "Reptilian". And the most ambitious project of this movie is to creating the IMOOGI and made it alive by a very impressive CGI, imoogi itself is a Korean word for a mythical creature that evolved over time and for this movie director Shim draws it as a defiant serpent which wants to morph as a dragon, and making a lot of chaos in this planet in order to fulfill what its needs.This movie is now looking for a local release at July, and ready to invade U.S in August (scheduled at Aug 02, 2007), so the questions now, can this Korean monster movie cracking the U.S and international market with its story and high tech level?
