What Memories of the Sword Is About

Eighteen years after a betrayal during an uprising, a swordmaster who has since gone blind is training the young woman she raised to take revenge. The target is one of the most powerful men of the Goryeo dynasty. Park Heung-sik brings weightless, airborne swordplay into Korean history, and keeps the tone dark from end to end. It is built on loss rather than action: nobody wins when the swords come out, and everyone is trying to take back something that was removed from them eighteen years ago. Jeon Do-yeon, Lee Byung-hun and Kim Go-eun carry all of it.
