While the dokkaebi Doki likes to gift people in Korea with gold and silver, his twin Kebi was a high level trickster. When the other dokkaebi abandon their house for a graveyard, Kebi wants to fly to a new world where he has heard the people actually like to be frightened. Once they land and find the perfect place, neither twin is actually prepared for what awaits them. 

Cha adds to the Halloween tales with this cute one about figures from Korean mythology. Liked it.
