Product Description
Korea’s own “Queen of Tears”. Soo-Ae (Emperor of the Sea, Midnight FM) lights up the screen in this breathtaking epic inspired by tragic, true-life events.
Soo-Ae majestically portrays the Joseon Dynasty’s legendary Empress Myseongseong, a cherished ruler who fought courageously to modernize Korea. Forced to marry a king she did not love – and embroiled in a brutal struggle between rival world powers – the Empress draws her strength from a dashing rogue, a nameless headhunter who would do anything to be near her. This dark and brooding master of the blade protects the Empress as she stands strong against the sinister forces seeking to colonize her beloved country. When a traitor within the royal family orchestrates a plot to assassinate the Empress, only this anonymous swordsman proves willing to spill his own blood in defense of the noble beauty who would sacrifice her life for the people of Korea.

As an American historian who knew the story well before I bought the film, I was in tears and felt Korean by the end. This film's powerful nationalist narrative is as captivating as the actors whom portray each of the films characters. A must watch film that's sure to be a crowd pleaser for men and women alike, but would likely be offensive to a Japanese audience.
One thing I didn't understand, however, was the implied mystery of the title. You find out Moo Myoung's name almost immediately - how is he the sword with no name?
Frederick love it
As for the title of this review...the action in this movie is pretty intricate and plays liberally with human physics. It's a lot of fun to watch when those scenes are up. However, they don't last very long and are somewhat spread out (which is fine because the movie isn't all about action). The end of this movie was somewhat anticlimactic for how BA this leading character was supposed to be. I won't put any spoilers in place about the ending, but the reason I gave this review its particular title is because our hero doesn't actually wield a sword until the last 15 minutes of the film. Instead, he opts for this very cleaver-shaped broad knife as his weapon of choice. He uses it well, but I'm not sure how they came up with the title of this film using that as a reference.
Overall, this is an enjoyable watch. As for my taste, I would have probably rented it instead. I did not love it enough to watch more than maybe twice a year.

Overall, it was a so-so movie; great to watch while I worked my way through a large pile of ironing, but a bit daft and not particularly engaging, and in spite of the subtitles I didn't need to concentrate to keep up with it. I'm glad I watched it, but I doubt I'll watch it again.
Your own mileage may vary on that.
