Plot

Living a double life, Chilwu (Jeong-Hyeok Mun) is nothing but a negligent officer in the daytime, but at night he turns into a charismatic leader of five assassins standing up against injustice and brutality committed by the wicked in the 17th century Joseon Dynasty. Enraged at his innocent sister's death, our hero makes a 180-degree transformation, changing into an assassin to fight against the corrupt world. Watching swashbuckling action scenes including Eric’s rousing swordplay and flamboyant martial arts, viewers find themselves gradually unmask a conspiracy and mystery surrounding Chilwu’s assassin group.

    Where can I get a set of these DVDs with English subtitles? This drama is great. Far superior to any American. The Koreans throw out the standard old boring story arc and wing it off into new territory. I am reminded of Cordwainer Smith's science fiction stories because they were told in a Chinese story format which made them so facinating. Help me out here. I can get the DVDs in Korean but I want to give sets to my family so I need the English subtitles.

    it is a refreshing story. i have not missed a single episode. what makes Korean tv series so inviting is the originality of the stories except those based on history. Korea has the best writers on the planet or at least Korea tries to promote its writers from the general population. since 2005, i have stopped watching American films and had shifted to East Asian films particularly Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and mostly Korean. i think it is the culture that is the main reason, the way how people approach a situation and how each individual takes responsibility. the temperament and character of a people shines through even if they are only acting and/or making a film.
