Synopsis
ByungGu, an ordinary young man living in Korea, believes that all of the earth’s social ills are the evil work of aliens. That's why he knows that unless he can meet the prince from Andromeda before the total lunar eclipse, planet earth will be in grave danger. To meet the prince, he must find an extraterrestrial living on earth. So ByungGu kidnaps the most logical suspect, KANG ManShik, the president and CEO of YooJae Chemical Company. Thus starts the battle between ByungGu, who’s trying to uncover a secret alien plot to destroy the earth, and CEO Kang, who thinks ByungGu is nuts and is trying desperately to escape from him. Only four hours remain until the total lunar eclipse. When the eclipse is over, time will run out for planet earth. Can ByungGu single-handedly save the planet?
