The first aspect, however, is not neglected at all, as Park deals with the generation gap, and the issues created among fathers and sons when the latter wish for their offspring to follow in their footsteps.
Park Hoon-jung directs and pens a film with a great narrative, as he builds the tension gradually, transforming the movie from a drama involving the relationship of a father with his son, to an agonizing action thriller. The veteran refuses repeatedly, though, but does not count on his son’s wishes. Goo-gyeong, a former comrade of Man-duk who has also suffered due to the beast, is hunting it as the story begins and pressures him to help him.
The one-eyed tiger killed scores of hunters and was involved in the aforementioned accident. However, as the Japanese are clearing the forests in the mountains, the Japanese governor-general Maezono is collecting tiger pelts as a hobby, and has tasked Military Officer Ryu with killing a legendary beast that inhabits the mountain, which is referred by the locals as the Mountain Lord. Following a terrible accident that involved his wife, Man-duk has retired his rifle and become a humble herb gatherer. The story takes place in Japanese-occupied Korea in 1925, and focuses on Chun Man-duk, a revered hunter in his 50’s, who lives with his teenage son, Seok, in a hut near Mount Jirisan.
