Storyline

It is 14th century Yuan Dynasty China, the country is under Mongolian rule and the star-crossed lovers, Jinha and Sullie, illegitimate daughter of a Mongolian commander, are caught in the middle. When her mother died, SullieÕs father, Taruga, took her away and later planned to marry her off to form an alliance with a powerful Chinese warlord. Things get worse when Jinha learns that Taruga was the person who ordered the massacre of his entire family. Fuelled by hatred, he masters his family secret martial arts, the Bichun Secret Art. Many top pugilists, who are also after the secret scroll, try to kill him. During one of such attempts, Junkwang, a rich and powerful son of a Han lord, helps Jinha. But fate has it that Junkwang is the person that Sullie is forced to marry. When Junkwang knows about their love, he plots to have Jinha killed.

I really enjoyed this movie

I really liked watching this movie. I guess I was lucky to watch it in the original language. What impressed me the most, was the fighting scenes, that is, there were not much blood in them, especially when Jinha fought :) However, the grand finale was quite predictable... My biggest regard goes to the costume makers and the cinematographers of this movie. As usual, the Oriental films are characterized by awesome views of landscape and battle scenes, and the outfit of the characters. I just love when the panniers are fluttering in the wind. And of course, the long-haired guys ^__^ I guess, it was the Bichunmoo, which finally hitched me on the long-haired ones. Grazie mille to the stylists... Respect
