In Seoul in 1941, Pan-soo tries and fails to pickpocket someone's luggage. A few days later, he meets that person, Jung-hwan, at the Korean Language Society, where he gets to work as an aide. Jung-hwan hires him on one condition - Pan-soo must learn to read and write. The Government-General represses the Society and takes all material for the Korean Dictionary, Pan-soo recruits his former prison cellmates to continue the Society's work and help collect all 'Mal-mo-e.'
