This movie is now in Korean theaters, but I was anticipating it some time ago, and waiting still for its wider release. Few reasons to watch this. First, and foremost - it's a period movie, and I can't just pass it. Second - it features bows and arrows, and this is one of my favorite weapons. Third - Ryu Seung-yong (류승룡) and that should prevent anyone from asking further.
The plot is intense, according to hancinema: 13 years after the King Injo Revolt, the Chosun Dynasty is attacked by
the Qing Dynasty of China. A young man named Na-mi leaves his
demolished village to find his young sister, Ja-in, and her fiance
Su-koon, who were to wed on the very day of the attack. While on his
mission to rescue her, he is being traced by Jushinta, a fierce Qing
Warrior, and his band of malicious men who are out to stop him. Na-mi
has but a day to rescue his sister before she is taken away to be a
slave. When Na-mi finally finds his sister, Jushinta comes between them
and a fierce battle between two of the finest warriors unfolds.
1636 - this is the year of the action.
What can be more thrilling that dirty, furious, merciless men fighting each other?
