action
100 years ago, aliens landed on a mountain near which a white, five-tailed vixen lives. This can change its appearance at will.
The teacher Kang runs a special school in which the students are mentally built up and give strength to their soul. At some point, the students want to put their courage to the test and go out into the mountain forest at night. Here the aliens, for fun, disguised as walking scarecrows, frighten a few children. At this event, Yobi meets the student Hwang Geum-yee, who loses his dream catcher in the forest. Yobi develops a keen interest in people, especially Hwang Geum-yee. After being stranded on earth for 100 years, the aliens are now trying their first test flight to see if they can go home soon. However, an alien makes a mistake, which is why the test fails and he is sent away. Then it is used as a cuddly toy by a little girl. The little girl doesn't want to let go of it anymore. Yobi then decides to take the opportunity and infiltrates the school in human form as a student in order to free her extraterrestrial friend and above all to be closer to people. She really enjoys life as a human until the grim fox hunter arrives. Here she is saved by the mysterious Shadow, who makes it clear to her that her wish to become a person can only be fulfilled if she steals a person's soul. The fox hunter tries again to kill Yobi. When Geum-yee tries to save her, he sinks into a lake and his soul is trapped. Yobi tries to save his soul and defeats Shadow. The spirits tell her that a soul can only leave the lake if another replaces it. So Yobi replaces her soul with Geum-yee's.
A few years later, Yobi's soul is freed and she becomes human.
