Very poorly translated. The plot is interesting. I like science fiction novels. But unfortunately it was badly translated from Korean to Indonesian. I couldn't understand what it was trying to say in a few places.

The story takes place between two parallel worlds, the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of Corea. When Gon was a child, his father, the king of the Kingdom of Korea, was killed by his uncle. Just as his uncle was about to kill him, Gon was saved by an unknown person. The person who saved him dropped a female police officer's ID on the ground. This ID was issued 25 years later.

One night, while riding his horse in the woods, Gon accidentally passes through a tunnel and goes to another world. There, he meets the owner of the ID he found 25 years ago. Thus, Gon discovers the Republic of Korea. And discovers that his uncle, who killed his father, is still alive. Gon and Tae-Eul (policewoman) begin a love affair. Tae-Eul discovers that the cases she is trying to solve in her own world are related to the Corea kingdom and Gon's uncle, and so Gon and Tae-Eul begin to cooperate and try to save the two worlds.
