What happens

Bichunmoo (Korean: 비천무; RR: Bicheonmu) is a 2000 South Korean martial arts fantasy drama film written and directed by Kim Young-jun and featuring Shin Hyun-joon, Kim Hee-sun, and Jung Jin-young. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive film in Korean history (it was supplanted in 2001 by Musa). The film was based on a 1986 manhwa (Korean comic) called Bichunmoo (The Dance in the Sky) by Kim Hye-rin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
