Sword in the Moon is one of the first ever Korean sword flicks I have watched. I was attracted to the film as I heard it was based on a popular comic. I'll try to do this review without spoilers. What I loved about this film is the vibrant cinematography, colours and action sequences. The soundtrack is to die for. Compliments the movie well. The story is pretty standard though. In a time of chaos, two friends who learn martial arts and sword fighting go on separate paths. Yoon Gyu-yup going to the dark side of becoming a government official and Choi Ji-hwan becoming an assassin out for revenge. The ending though has my head scratching. Something I have felt at the end of most Korean sword movies that I've watched following this one. It's like the heroes deliberately go out of their way to make poor decisions that lead to sad endings, LOL. At the end of the movie, I could have cited many different choices that our heroes could have made... I'll leave it at that. Is it worth a watch? definitely yes due to it's awesome soundtrack and the way the movie is presented. Is it the best movie ever? Nope...
