Disappointing
When I heard the female star was a former gymnast who did all her own stunts, I was expecting some Jacky Chan-esque action; instead, all I got was some sword swinging and a cartwheel.A girl who wants to be an action star gets isekai'ed into a parallel world, which desperately needs a hero... good thing she's trained her entire life for the role!
Yeah, it sounds cool and, though the tongue is firmly imbedded in the cheek throughout, there was a lot that could have been better, leaving my sole title word as a fitting description for this film: disappointing.

Awesome action sword scenes from a female heroine! No stunt doubles
Jihye Ahn is a gymnast turned action star who kicked butt in this film! She did all her own stunt work and did it so freakin well. You gotta respect that! Unfortunately the story itself was weak, so I can't say it was the greatest movie, but the many awesome sword fighting scenes made it entertaining for me. It seems this is a low budget film, but the entire cast delivered so I didn't really notice.If you're in the mood to watch some cool action scenes, especially from a female heroine, then I'd suggest giving this movie a try. I really hope Hollywood takes notice of Jihye because not only do we need more female action stars, we need more Asian ones and ones that do their own stunts. It makes a difference.
