The movie was based on a stage play telling the story of how a group of Korean independence fighters plan to assassinate a Japanese general of Korea. I came to watch it because of the character Seol-Hee is played by Kim Go-Eun who I am a big fan of. She plays a court lady who after seeing the queen assassinated becomes a geisha to exact revenge on the general. She was said to be unhappy with her performance but I was really impressed as the director expected them to act the scene as well as sing live. The star of the show is Jung Sung-hwa who plays An Jung-geun a leader in the independence movement, he is a musical actor and I believe he also played the lead in the stage version. Also in the cast is Park Jin-joo who I really wish could get a starring role instead of support as she always puts in an excellent performance and also has a beautiful voice.
