War Of The Arrows

Synopsis: Two children Nam-yi and Ja-in are being chased by King Injo's guards and saved by their father Choi Pyeong-ryung, an officer of King Gwanghae and a skilled archer. He sends his own children to find a place of refuge with his best friend Kim Mu-seon. As they escape crying, Ja-in begs her brother to go back to their father but their father is killed in front of Nam-yi. Nam-yi, though bitten by the guard dogs, kills them and escapes with Ja-in. Nam-yi becomes the only family Ja-in has. 13 years later Nam-yi is now a skilled archer and hunter. He learns from Mu-seon's son Seo-goon that he and Ja-in plan to get married, with the approval of Mu-seon who is also Ja-in's godfather. During the wedding, Nam-yi is up in the mountains hunting deer. He hears the rumble of the invading forces. When Nam-yi makes it back to the village, he finds his step-father slaughtered and his sister taken away. Nam-yi then sets out to find the Qing army and take out their army with his bow.

Catch him! Stop!

Over there! That way!

Catch him! Stop!

Father

Wake up, Nam-yi!

Are you afraid?

I'm asking,

are you afraid?!

Yes, father

That fearful heart,

look squarely in the eye of it

that's how you come out of it

Father!

Don't forget,

it's Kim Mu-seon in Gyeseong

Got it?

...I want to stay

with you, father...

You're now Ja-in's father

You must take care of your sister 'til you die

Do you understand?!

- Yes

- Get up

Father!

Get out of here, Nam-yi!

Capture the traitor!

Father! Father!

Father!

I have to

go back to father!

Didn't you hear father?

Father is still fighting!

I have to take the bow to him,

so he can win!

Stupid! Father told us to take it

Do you even know what that implies?

I'm gonna go!

Brother, let's go back

Let's give him the bow, please

We've captured the traitor!

Now, find his children!

Hwal ("bow")

Did you witness

your father's end?

Are you Ja-in?

So, did your father leave

any last words?

People ignorant of foreign affairs

support the King...

...so there will surely be a war.

The country and

the safety of people are...

...like a lamp before a storm

Aye, what can be done?

I entrust the bow to you

until the child grows up

"Push like pushing a mountain...

...and pull like holding a tiger's tail"

Gap-yong, please ask my wife

to get them new dresses first

Yes, sir

Go ahead and change

Don't be going outside

without caution

If someone asks you

who you are...

...don't answer until an elder

of this house answers first

You got that?

Father.. father..

father..

"You're now Ja-in's father

You must take care of your sister 'til you die"

Do you understand?

[13 years later]

.. This way! This way!

.. That way! That way!

Ugh.. darn it!

It's hit! It's hit!

It's dead!

Wa.. wa.. wait!

Why?

What is this place?

This is just..

Isn't this tiger trap?

Let's hurry and carry it out

Wa.. wait..

Th.. that is..

I heard it

It.. tiger! Tiger! Tiger!

Tiger! Tiger!

? Tiger, tiger,

? my tiger at Mt. Dongak

? I'll give you a rice cake

? So fetch me a bride

There's this place in Gyeseong

where all beautiful girls are

I went there and

they were all just looked homely

Really?

So the most beautiful girl

in Songak...

..is our lady Miss Ja-in

If only things

had gone better for her...

...distinguished guys would be

standing in a line mile long for her

Now 'nuff with banter

and have some drink

Speaking of which, I think

Madam is so harsh...

...seriously, isn't Miss Ja-in

out of Master Seo-gun's league?

Can any imperfection

be found with Miss Ja-in?

And what about her womanly figure?

She beats an angel

from heaven any day

What has Young Master done?

Did he pass the civil service exam?

You're right

I said that's enough!

Brother,

did I say something wrong?

C'mon, enough already,

you know the whole story

It's because I know the story

and it suffocates me!

I told you to stop already!

/Idiot!/

Hey, jerk,

I even got on your side...

Hey! You just cuss'd

at me, didn't you?

You cuss'd at me, didn't you?!

You bastard,

you disrespect me...

...because you've played

around somewhat, eh?!

I'll rip your mouth wide today..

...and fix your bad habit for good!

You jerk!

Kang-du, please stop!

I came to have some drink

but it's a big mess here

Master, glad to see you

Eh..

Does it help with digestion

if you drink like this?

What made you have

a fun fight like this?

What made you come out

at this time of night?

Come here

I'll pour you a drink

Brother, this is no way

to have a drink tastefully

How about if we move

to a real nice place?

A nerd like you

know of any place to drink?

Well..

...you'll find out

once you get there

Whoa, there's surely a lot

of rare beauties for a drinking bar

Yes, this place is

well known for drinks

The drink does

taste different here

- The sword..

- Wait!

- I'll pour one

- What's with this?

Nothing at all

I just want to serve one

Serve one?

Please, receive one

Now.. I'm treated properly

as an older brother finally!

So.. I have...

...something I'd like to tell you

Brother, I'd like to

marry Ja-in

What did you say?!

Please approve, Brother

You're her guardian, aren't you?

Does your mother know about this?

And your father?

I only need to persuade them,

and that's all

Brother...

...I'm really.. desperate

Brother

Please approve for me

You and I are...

...brothers..

closer than regular friends

Who says you and I are closer

than regular friends?

It's like that 'cuz I said so

Are you insane or something?

How can family members

living under the same roof..

.. no.. that isn't it..

.. you want to marry a traitor's

daughter who's in hiding?

Are you trying

to ruin your own life?

I know exactly

what you're worrying about

My parents..

.. I will persuade them over

Brother.. we lived together

in the same house all that time..

.. they surely wouldn't

They surely suffered from

a lot of anxieties

'cause they lived with traitor's children

in their bosoms

And you want to put that yoke

back on your parents for life?!

- Brother

- And ! ..

.. how do you think Ja-in would be

under such mother-in-law?

Whatever anyone else say

I will not be detered

And ..

.. I can do anything

and everything for Ja-in

You can do anything

and everything..

Sure

- I'll make an offer then

- ?

Brother!

- What offer ..

- Is anyone here?

If you cut me...

...I'll give you Ja-in

But if you can't

I will cut you...

...and I'll leave

this town with Ja-in today

You got that?

Brother!

What kind of offer ..

Brother!

Look at this weakling

How dare you covet my sister?!

I'm a son of a warrior too!

I'm being easy on you, Brother!!

I will never give my sister

to a dimwit nerd like you

I'd rather give her to

a butcher ..

A butcher would be

a lot better choice

This is enough

Sorry for my rudeness

Sit down!

Drinking, and even fighting!

Is life so easy for you?!

Yes, sir

My heart is at peace, and the world

seems laughable like a flea to me

It's been 13 years

since you came to this house

You abandoned desk study

and you stopped martial arts training...

...you wander outside all day

What are you going to do with your life?!

Can I take a civil service exam

by memorizing words? ...

Or can I plunder a country

by training in martial arts?

I'm nothing

but a traitor's child

I shall live through today

and I'll probably die tomorrow

How dare you?!?!

You really don't know

what an honest man your father was?!

- Yes I know

- And ?!

And ..

I did indeed see the final end

of such father! I sure did!

What good is a diligent life?

You stick yourself out to do...

..something great and you will

only get cut down by a sword

You're here like this

because you fear that too, isn't it?

Why you !@#$

If you have nothing more to say

then I'd like to go...

...and have one more cup

before I sober up

You know...

...I named Ja-in

when she was born

And Seo-gun was named

by your father

I approve of
