[edit] Plot

Basically, the main actor is a nonprofessional wrestler but just huge fan of wrestling since his childhoods. In South Korea, one wrestler called Kim il was a big star as an athlete in the 1970s. Strangely, however, the young hero preferred to follow a fouling man called Ultra Tiger Mask, a dirty wrestler who wore a tiger mask. After ten years or more, the story comes upon him.[1]
