Year: 2011
Plot: "During Second Manchu invasion of Korea, one village is attacked by Manchurian soldiers. The soldiers kidnap Ja-in on her wedding day with her childhood sweetheart Seo-Goon. Her brother Nam-Yi takes on the enemy to free the victims with only one bow."
I am very glad I decided to watch this movie, despite much of it being very pixelated (watched it on some site). Even with that, I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie. I really loved seeing Kim Mu-Yeol in this as well. I loved him in Iljimae and was happy to see him playing a completely different character. In Iljimae, he played a rather big idiot for the most part, but in this movie he was quite brave and useful.
I really loved just before our hero showed up to help the captives the first time, that had to be my favorite part with Kim Mu-Yeol. I hadn't expected much from his character because of Iljimae, but what he did was really cool in my mind. And after that my next favorite part had to be with Ja-in. She was really strong and her scenes with the Prince were definitely notable.
This movie was of course about a man with nothing but a bow taking on Manchurian soldiers. The movie did splendid with the entire story and I have to say that the chase through the forest was more entertaining for me then many car chase scenes. I was definitely invested in the character of Nam-Yi and was practically biting my nails near the end of the movie (I don't bite my nails anymore though). I have to say Ja-in did amazing with her choice of shot.
I could go on forever with this movie I think, but I will stop here. I just have to say that even with the pixelation, I thought this movie looked great. The tiger seemed to look rather fake from what I could tell through the blocks, but other than that, everything looked great.
If you couldn't tell I would definitely suggest this movie. I also bought this movie for my collection and I do not regret it in anyway. I even bought it from Walmart rather than trying to look for a better price online. This is surely one to watch and not easily to disappoint. n.n
