<p>“Gyeongseong Creature” starts with Jang Tae-Sang, the owner of the House of the Golden Treasure, being torturously interrogated by a Japanese official. What had he done? Was he secretly a member of the Korean Independence Movement? Had he stolen money from the Imperial Japanese Army? Nope. Nothing like that. The officer wanted to know if something was going on between Jang Tae-Sang and his wife. Once he got the answer to that question, he told Tae-Sang what he really wanted to know. The official’s mistress had gone missing. Since Jang Tae-Sang was known as the “king of information”, the Japanese officer wanted him to find his mistress.</p>
 
"Gyeongseong Creature" was a curious hybrid of historical fiction and supernatural elements for me. The inclusion of Unit 731's sinister experiments added a chilling layer to the story.

As a history buff, I was drawn to the series' depiction of Gyeongseong in 1945. The authenticity with which the era was recreated was commendable.
