Bichunmoo At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Mongolia was ruling all of the Chinese continent, the Mongolians, the Hans, and the Koryo (ancient Korean) migrants were going through racial conflicts while experiencing the strife of local barons` rivalry. Jinha, the son of Koryo migrants, falls for Sullie, illegitimate daughter of a Mongolian commander. After some time, Jinha knows the secret of his parent`s death. Sullie`s father, Taruga wants to kill Jinha for his Bichun Secret Arts, the strongest martial secret. Nevertheless it can`t stop them from heading for a hiding place to love each other. Caught by Taruga, Jinha is shot by arrows and falls from a cliff. Miraculously brought back to life, Jinha is reborn as Jahalang, a hired assassin, and is back for revenge...

Musa - The Warrior In 14th century China shortly after the Ming Dynasty seized power, a Ming envoy to Korea was murdered, leading to soured relations between the two countries. In efforts to mend ties, Korea sent numerous envoys to China: one such group are arrested and sent into exile. Off in the wilderness they manage to rescue a Ming princess and hope that if they can return her to the Ming safely, their honour and good relations between the two countries will be restored...

Five years of planning and pre-production and a dedicated production staff of over 300 men and women, `The Warrior` is possibly the biggest motion-picture event in Korean Cinema history. Featuring leading-roles for current `it girl` Zhang Zi-yi and Iron Monkey`s Yu Rong-kwong, `The Warrior` is a compelling and often evocative tale of courage, love and sacrifice.
