Perfectly fine entertainment so far, the pic becomes full-on exhilarating when Nam-yi, who has evaded capture, determines to rescue his sister.
As bad luck would have it, the couple’s wedding day coincides with the Manchu invasion of Korea, resulting in Ja-in and Seo-gun being captured and held prisoner near the Korea-Manchuria border. Attention-grabbing 1623-set prologue finds youngster Nam-yi (Lee Da-wit) and little sister Ja-in (Jeon Min-seo) narrowly escaping death when their father is branded a traitor and killed by rivals in the Chosun dynasty court.Ĭut to 1636, and Nam-yi (Park Hae-il) and the beautiful Ja-in (Moon Chae-won) remain in the care of Kim Mu-seon (Lee Kyeong-yeong), a wealthy family friend whose slightly nerdy son, Seo-gun (Kim Mu-yeol), has asked Ja-in to marry him. Eliminating the ponderous plot development that frequently hampers South Korean period actioners, scripter-helmer Kim Han-min cracks the narrative whip right from the start.
