This was the first historical/periodic k-movie I'd watched and it created a significant impression in my mind. Here's my review of the movie:



Story: A straight forward and simple story - a nation's in crisis, they need a king, but assasins have been killing off all potential candidates until there was only one possible candidate left: an exiled prince. A fighter was sent to search and protect the exiled prince. Excellent fighting scenes followed. There was a budding romance between the prince and his protector and the unrequitted love between a vassal and her lord/leader. All these come together to form a solid storyline for a movie.



Acting/Cast: Very convincing, excellent fighting scenes and good script. What can I say: I am drawn into the world of war, assassins and martial arts by the cast.



Music: Not much to comment there. The music suited each scene but because most of them are instrumental with either sombre mood or fight mood, the music did not stand out in this movie.



Rewatch value: An excellent and quick 1 hour plus entertainment that you can rewatch whenever you feel bored. I enjoy watching the fighting scenes. They were well choreographed.



Overall: Highly recommended!! It is truly a gem that was not given its due recognition!!

!Fantastic! I really enjoyed this film, the scenes were breath-taking, the acting was great and the fight scenes were amazing. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys martial arts! There (is) a gore factor to this film but I thought the way they established those scenes was quite well done. This movie was very enjoyable I will definitely rewatch this one! :)

This movie, in my opinion, deserves a 10 all across the board because it was the well done. The acting and the martial arts in this film were amazing. The story was great as well, it appeals to both the action and romance watchers :) I haven't watched many historical movies yet, but this movie motivates me to! I can't wait to go find others like it! I thought this movie was phenomenal! I hope this helps :)

The Shadowless Sword is actually one of my favourite Korean sword movies. It has a simple plot but is pretty entertaining. Evil forces have killed off the royal bloodline and there's one exiled prince left who can take the throne. The good guys send a lone warrior to fetch him back to the capital to become the King. The bad guys send a group to stop that from happening. The exiled prince doesn't want to become the King. That's the crux of the story. I really like Yoon So Yi as the main female lead of Yeon So Ha. She is a pretty girl and a bad ass. Is very loyal and has high morals. She really made the series worth watching. I loved the fight scenes that she was involved with. Most Korean sword films have very good cinematography which makes it feel like you're watching a live art show.
