The kingdom of Balhae is in turmoil. A new k
ing must be found, so peace and prosperity can be brought back to the region, but assassins from Killer-Blade Army, sent out by the neighboring kingdom of Georan, have been busy murdering the royal family, and now there's only one rightful heir left: An exiled prince, Jeong-Heyon, who has turned his back on his destiny. The beautiful but deadly female warrior Yeon Soha is now sent out to find this last prince and bring him back, so Balhae can once again stand united against its enemies.

Soha manages to track down the prince to a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom, where he's now hiding under the name Sosam and operates a small business selling stolen goods. Time is of the essence, as the Killer-Blade assassins are not far behind, but Soha has little luck convincing the would-be prince that he should follow her. He refuses to go anywhere. Soon, though, the Killer-Blades discover Jeong-Heyon's hiding place, and on top of that he is betrayed by his body guards. After about eight assassination attempts in as many minutes the prince wises up and decide to follow Soha.

Now the soldier and the prince must travel across the country, with the Killer-Blade Army assassins hot of their trail. Destiny awaits in the horizon, but the journey is long and their pursuers are getting closer by the minute...

Set in 1978, Once Upon a Time in High School tells the story of a new transfer student, Hyun-soo in a restrictive authoritarian high school full of corporal punishment, bullying, school violence and military guards to keep watch. Upon arrival, Hyun-soo excels in nearly everything he does, and befriends Hamburger (a student who sells adult magazines for tuition) and Woo-sik (the rash “head of the class” and best fighter). At the same time, he takes notice of a schoolgirl Eun-ju, who probably could make a career out of standing in as a double for Olivia Hussey. Woo-sik also takes notice and a love triangle emerges, against the backdrop of all the students struggling to deal with the restrictive facets of their high school lives.

Fighter In The Wind (Barameui Paiteo)

Release Date: 2004
Director: Yang Yun Ho
Writer: Yang Yun Ho, Bang Hak Gi

Cast:
Yang Dong Kun ... Choi Bae Dal
Aya Hirayama ... Yoko
Kato Massaya ... Kato
Jeong Tae Woo ... Chun Bae

Sypnosis:

A young Korean Taekwondo competitor arrives in Japan near the end of World War II with hopes of being a fighter pilot, but ends up on the streets battling racism, organized crime, occupying American servicemen, and his own fear of failure as a martial artist. He retires to the wilderness for two years to train his body in the art of karate and returns to take on the world.

Fighter in the Wind is a dramatic and stylized portrayal of the life of Kyokushin karate founder Masutatsu Oyama, or as he is known in this movie by his original Korean name, Choi Baedal. As a biopic of a man who wrestled bulls and whom the New York Times declared in 1961 to be "the toughest man in the world," it falls far short of giving an accurate portrayal of someone whose real-life exploits are more fascinating than any fiction. That said, Fighter in the Wind is an immensely entertaining martial arts movie that's full of breath-taking action and heart.
