D-Co have announced the Korean DVD release of 'Blades Of Blood' for the 11th August, 2010. Directed by Lee Jun-ik and based on a comic by Park Heung Yong, the film matches up two of Korea's most acclaimed and charismatic actors, Cha Seung Won and Hwang Jung Min, in a duel to the death.
Synopsis
In the late 16th century, the Joseon kingdom is thrown into chaos by the threat of a Japanese invasion. Royal descendant Lee Mong Hwak (Cha Seung Won) and legendary blind swordsman Hwang Jung Hak (Hwang Jung Min) were once allies who dreamed of stamping out social inequality and corruption, and creating a better world. Persecuted by the court, Lee forms a rebel army in hopes of overthrowing the inept king and taking the throne himself. Lee is willing to kill recklessly and betray former comrades to forge his bloody path to the palace, but Hwang Jung Hak stands in the way.
