Bichunmoo

Director: Kim Young-Jun

Producer: Jung Tae-won

Set in Southern China, Bichunmoo tells the story of Jinha played by Shin Hyun-June (now starring in the Korean War Drama, Blue), who trains in the art of the deadly Bichun sword style. After meeting his soul mate, Sullie played by Kim Hee-Sun (now starring in the Korean Dramatic Romance "A Man Who Went To Mars") they are separated by her Mongolian family. Now Jinha must master his Bichun sword style and become a true swordsman and win back his true love... 

My knowledge of Korean Swordplay movies is very poor. I don't have much more information to do with the movie...but all I can say is this movie is the cream of the crop when it comes to beautifully crafted swordplay movies. Mixed Genres with Drama, Action & Romance Bichunmoo definitely gets the message across...Korean films are well worth watching!

If you are interested in purchasing this film, Im sure its easy to find. I recommend the Premier Asia edition. 2 disc DVD with many features including; a feature length audio commentary with Asia Film Experts Bey Logan and Mike Leeder (which is quite amusing to listen to), ‘From Conception to Realization’ CGI Montage Clip, Candid Camera too showing you behind the scenes and interviews with the director and its main cast.

In final thought, Bichunmoo is a breath of fresh air to Asian Film fans and shouldn't be missed. So don't hesitate, borrow, rent or buy Bichunmoo!
