Jang Hyuk stars in the title role, with Joe Taslim, Kim Hyun-soo, and Jeong Man-sik. The film is set in the 17th century, and revolves around Tae-yul, a faithful swordsman to the deposed king, Gwanghaegun, who is gradually going blind while simultaneously caring for his smart and bright teenage daughter, Tae-ok. Tae-ok is willing to become the foster daughter of a nobleman in order to assist her father get expensive herbs. However, the foreign invasion of the small territory resulted in the slavery of women, particularly young girls, and brutality against resistant husbands and fathers. Tae-ok becomes a victim of this human trade, and her father must now use force against the evil men and traitors to rescue her. It is distinguished by sword fight choreography and a tender story with a hint of mystery. The audience learns the truth about the father sacrificing everything to save his daughter while also experiencing visual loss. I lately watched Jang Hyuk's "The Killer: A Girl Who Deserves to Die (2022)", which was released two years later and likewise has Jang rescuing a teenage girl from sex traffickers. Jang had strong performances in both of these movies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Gaming N joe taslim the goat no cap Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Marc Z This is a Phenomenal Martial Arts Movie based in part on the political and military struggles around the time of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. While it is all that it is more significantly the personal story of a gifted Swordsman trying to live his life quietly, and raise his daughter, as he goes blind. However, in true martial arts movie fashion he gets dragged in to the fight to save his daughter. The acting and Direction are great. The fight and weapon choreography as good as you will see. The cinematography is great. This is an instant classic. I can't believe I never saw this earlier. Jang Hyun is great in the lead. Joe Taslim night be one of the top martial arts movie and action stars in the world. He is great in this. This is from Well Go USA and in Korean with English subtitles.
