The Ancient War
Twelve follows 12 angels and a group of evil spirits/devils who wish to take control of the Korean peninsula. A long time ago, 12 zodiac angels fought against evil spirits to protect the human race. Thanks to the sacrifice of the angels, the evil forces were sealed in the gate of Hell, bringing peace to the world.
Present-Day Chaos
However, with the evil spirits awakening, chaos returns. The 12 zodiac angels, led by Tae-San (Ma Dong-Seok), who symbolizes the tiger, enter into an epic battle against a group of evil beings, including O-Gwi (Park Hyung Sik).
Zodiac Mythology
Inspired by the 12 zodiac animals of the East, the series tells the story of 12 angels living in the human world in human form to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits.
