Plot: AD 927. After the prince of Balhae was assassinated, LIM, a former official, sends YEON So-ha, a female warrior to escort Prince DAE Jeong-hyun from his 14-year exile back to Balhae, where he would ascend to the throne and restore order to the kingdom. The pair, however, find the journey to Balhae a perilous one. In this epic struggle of good and evil, the fate of a nation hangs in balance.

Synopsis: Kim Young-Jun, director of 2000's Bichunmoo, helms the exciting new fantasy swordplay epic, Shadowless Sword! Set during the Balhae Dynasty in the tenth century, the film is full of danger and political intrigue. It centers on the fate of Dae Jeong-Hyeon (Lee Seo-Jin, from TV's Damo) who lives a simple life in a Chinese frontier town, but who hides an amazing secret - he is an heir to the Balhae kingdom! Little does he know, however, that he will soon become the last surviving one! When the king and the remaining heirs are wiped out by the murderous Khitan, it's up to Yeon So-Ha (Yoon Soy, from Arahan), one of Balhae's top female warriors, to accompany the exiled Prince Jeong-Hyeon back to his homeland so he can ascend the throne and take his rightful place as ruler of the empire. Hot on their trail is a band of highly trained assassins, including Khitan chieftain Gun Hwa-Pyeong (Shin Hyeon-Joon, from Bichunmoo) and his female companion Mae Yeong-Ok (Lee Gi-Yong), who are looking to insure that the prince's reign will be cut short...permanently! And to make matters more complicated, it turns out that Jeong-Hyeon isn't quite the regal, honorable gentleman that So-Ha was expecting, but is instead a man eager to protect himself at all costs with no concern for the well-being of his fellow countrymen. Will Yeon So-Ha escort Jeong-Hyeon back safely? And if so, will he become the kind of leader that his people long for in this desperate time of need? The truth will be revealed in Shadowless Sword, an amazing swordplay saga also starring Park Seong-Woong, Nam Ji-Hyun, Han Gang, and featuring cameos by Choi Ji-Woo, Kim Soo-Ro, and Jeong Jun-Ha!
