Stylish sword-fighting actions scenes and lush production values populate the trailer for “The Swordsman” starring Jang Hyuk, which also sees Indonesian action star Joe Taslim make his first appearance in a Korean film.
Synopsis
After the dethronement of Gwanghaegun, the country's best swordsman Tae-yool vanishes. Joseon itself is in chaos due to the conflict between Qing and Ming Dynasty. Gurutai is a member of the imperial family of Qing. He makes unreasonable demands upon Joseon. Under this situation, Tae-yool's daughter Tae-ok is taken by Gurutai's subordinates. Tae-yool picks up his sword again to save his daughter.
Jang Hyuk (“The Flu”) stars as Tae-yool while Joe Taslim (“The Night Comes for Us”) takes up the role of Gurutai. Accompanying them are Kim Hyun-soo (“Silenced”) and Jung Man-sik (“Beasts Clawing at Straws”). It is pencilled in for a September 23rd, 2020 release in South Korea.
