Director Ji-hun Kim methodically develops the characters. The plot, to be honest, is relatively simple. As-of-yet recorded marine lifeforms (that glow), undocumented by science, are truly dangerous, not as cute as they seem, discovered by workers on an oil rig in the middle of JeJu sea. The main star is an edgy, outspoken (maybe a bit too rude and big for her britches), take-charge kind of gal named Cha (Ji-won Ha). Her father is the man at the beginning who vanished in 1985 when he happens upon the marine creatures while deep in the ocean at the floor. It is now 2011 and Cha and her co-workers have dealt with faulty, aged equipment in need of major repairs and an ocean floor that is difficult in regards to the production of oil. Cha is vocal that their "amateur captain" is not dedicated enough, a quitter who has given up too soon. Her Uncle, who once worked on the rig for 10 years, returns, his experience and determination producing immediate results. Getting the power hammer to function again, oil rises forth, bringing along with it the menace of the picture. Cha has a boyfriend who has been emasculated by her fierceness over their tenure on the rig and a fellow woman, an aquatic researcher, is pestered by a dim-witted nuisance who has no reason being there but had hitched a ride, tagging along with his buddies (who even tire of his presence). There's the scene where the entire crew compare the scars of battle on a rig. There's a cable wire that snaps after the feeder is bumped by "something" sending a crew member to his death underwater while helping Cha weld the leaky oil pipeline and a major fall that may not be a suicide leap as first appears.
