It is AD 924, at the end of the United Shilla Dynasty. Continuous riots sweep the land ruled by a corrupted government. Evil forces are rampant and malicious demons roam the land. YI Kwak, born with the powers to see spirits, joins the royal demon hunting squad, ‘Chuh-yong-dae’ after losing his fiancée, Yon-hwa to evil demons. YI Kwak excels as the most talented warrior of Chuh-yong-dae and the royal squad seems to gain momentum as powerful fighters against the forces of darkness. Then one day, YI Kwak drifts into Joongcheon, the world of the dead through a strange shrine. Joongcheon, the intermediate world between Heaven and Earth, a place souls remain for 49 days, preparing for reincarnation.
My comments:
I read a lot of bashing about The Restless and I just have too see it if it’s really THAT bad. Watching it with low expectations already, I didn't find it great. If I can use one word to describe this movie, it would be: awkward. Both the acting and romance is awkward. The ever cool Jung Woo Sung is disappointing and don’t even mention Kim Tae Hee. Jung Woo Sung still has his piercing gaze while Kim Tae Hee still displays her cold stares, which didn’t help their chemistry as couple, I was totally unmoved by their love story. I liked So Yi Hyun more and the supporting cast did better than the leads. I wasn’t really in awe by the action as well; one particular action sequence reminds me of Spiderman…There are so many "how come?" moments but at the end, I didn't even bother to think. See, I didn't have anything good to say about this movie as well...
