Memories of the Sword
2015・South Korea・121 minutes
At the end of the Goryeo era when swords ruled and a slave could become king, three master fighters, Pung-chun, Wol-so (JEON Do-yeon), and Yu-baek (LEE Byung-hun) take charge of a civil uprising to change their world. But the uprising fails when Pung-chun dies by Yu-baek’s betrayal and Wol-so vanishes with Pung-chun’s baby.
18 years later, Yu-baek has become the most powerful man in the country. He is quick to kill anyone who plots against him or shows him contempt for being born of a slave. Then one day, Yu-baek discovers a girl who uses the sword exactly like Wol-so at the combat games he is hosting and chases after her.
Meanwhile, Wol-so has become blind and been living with her back against the world since Yu-baek’s betrayal. When she realizes that Hong-yi (KIM Go-eun) had entered Yu-baek’s combat games and met him, Wol-so reveals the truth she had been hiding secret for 18 years.
