Episode 1

Though the first episode is impressive, it is rather hard to understand what was going on.

Upon research, it seems the story is about a bio-weapon that was secretly created by South Korean called The Tyrant Project.  The bio-weapon has the ability to enhance people’s abilities.

The US heard about it and pressured South Korea to cease the research and production of the Tyrant Project and surrender every bio-weapons already on stock.

Meanwhile, Ja Kyung, a bad ass girl who has apparently a multiple personality had just lost her father, who is a gang leader.  Some pip squirt tried to wrestle the power from Ja Kyung but he did not stand a chance after realising that Ja Kyung can be his worst enemy with her multiple personality.  And he was right too.

Ja Kyung managed to get hold of a tube of the bio-weapon. She also interrupted a secret US-Korea bioweapon surrender meet-up.  She run them over with a stollen taxi.

Now it is a race to find all the Tyrant bioweapon in existence.  A retired agent had been tasked to round up everyone who was involved in the Tyrant project.
