Hyun Jo and Yi Gang's first meeting in Jirisan, episode 1

In Jirisan, episode 1, Hyun Jo and Yi Gang first met each other during a rescue mission for a young boy who was lost in the mountains. Although the golden time was 30 hours, the team only had seven to save the child.

However, a typhoon struck, and rangers were forced to call off the rescue. Amidst the chaos, Hyun Jo had a vision of sorts that told him about the young boy still being alive.

If the team wanted to rescue him alive, they had to act right away, regardless of the weather. Yi Gang also felt that she would regret not doing her best for the boy. She, along with Hyun Jo, set out despite orders to halt the search.

With Hyun Jo's ability they were able to find the boy. However, the mystery behind this strange power remains to be solved.

He confessed to Yi Gang that he could see the hikers who were lost in Jiri san (the mountain) like it were a dream. Unsurprisingly, she didn't believe him at first. However, the latter part of the episode hinted at more twists in the show's future.

Jirisan airs Saturdays and Sundays on tvN, and can be streamed on iQiyi.
