It's a story well told. The beginning of the story got me engaged and instantly gave the premise that it's a fantasy movie, following the lives of the poor little girl who exchanged her fate for a piece of bread and the man who could turn back time but could not remember his past. It's a delight to watch, if you're the type who likes romance wrapped in a mysterious fantasy-action story that unfolds bit by bit. The scenes are shot against a cinematic background (makes you recall those Chinese paintings in color and detail)and they flow seamlessly one after the other. The story develops as the characters reveal their true selves and strangely, I found myself sympathizing more for the man in the mysterious feathery black coat and scarred white face. In the end, he helps Kun Lun to remember his past and sacrifice himself for their kind's last hope. Story - an outstanding 10 in my book Cast - Stellar cast: Liu Ye - as the scarred and damaged Snow Wolf Hiroyuki Sanada as the warrior-general in the sun helmet Jang Dong Gun - as the Princess' hero, Kun Lun (I didn't even know this ahjusshi was from S. Korea) Music - this is a Chinese movie, of course it's a 10 Rewatch value - I watched it for like 4 times and had to restrain myself from watching it again. Darn why did it have to end so soon!
