In anticipation of the new fantasy film "Shadowless Sword," I decided to watch Arahan again (since Yoon Soy stars in it). It's a decent popcorn flick, with some slight humor. (maybe they were trying to be funny, but was weak on the execution)
Sang hwan is a nerdy cop with little or no common sense. After an accident the Seven Masters discovers that there's a very strong Chi in him and wants to recruit and train him. But being the lame idiot he is, he refuses, as the story goes on, only a hot chick could (Eui jin) could get him interested. The story is so so, the action sequences are decent. Yoon Soy may prove to be an actress that can play the roles of martial arts beauty. She looks well trained (she looks even better in the trailers of shadowless sword). My Intial viewing of the film, didn't really impress me, but this second time around I notice some of the direction of the film and editing. This film did win some award in Korea, possible for it's effects and action sequences.

I haven't watched this movie yet, but from the review and pictures, it looks and sounds like a lame movie… cuz common, everybody knows that you don’t need a hot girl for you to unleash your Chi. The Chi, like mojo, just comes out naturally. :D
I’m looking forward to "Shadowless Sword." It looks great in the trailers
