Sobaekjeon

Synopsis

"So-Baek, So-Baek. Come live with me." "Yes. I will. I will always be with you." Smaller and weaker than his brothers, a baby fox with blue eyes and white fur is abandoned by its mother and left alone in the forest. In front of the trembling, terrified fox, a boy named Mu-Heun appears and takes the fox to his house and gives it the name So-Baek, which means small and white. Their friendly and affectionate days end tragically when intruders come and murder the boy and his family while So-Baek was out hunting one day. In front of the battered corpse, So-Baek sheds tears. It vows. "I will be a human being and pray for the rest of my life. May the ashes of Mu-Heun reincarnate and come to see me." Seventy years passed by, and a man with empty eyes appears to the lonely So-Baek. Why does he remind So-Baek of Mu-Heun?
