Both hope to swap the sword for a massive reward, as do a host of other rival opportunistic bounty hunters...

Things get a little complicated, however, when the appearance of a spacecraft in both Guard’s time and that of Muruk and Ean appears to open up a portal between the two times. All of a sudden, Guard and his companions find themselves catapulted back into the past, and confronted with someone from his own past!

When his informant is brutally murdered, police officer Won Ho (Jo Jin Woong) vows to find the killer.

He meets a woman named Oh Yeon Ok (Kim Sun Ryung), who tells him that the man behind the murder is a mysterious drug cartel boss known in the underworld as “Mr. Lee.”

She goes on to explain that Mr. Lee is one of the most dangerous people in the world, and says that he is known to guard his identity carefully.

This same Mr. Lee, she adds, attempted to kill her by blowing up a building. Won Ho visits the scene of the crime and finds a man he believes to be a member of Mr. Lee’s gang – a man named Rak (Ryu Jun Yeol).

Rak agrees to help Won Ho after the latter hatches a plan to set up a drug deal that will hopefully flush Mr. Lee out into the open.

But tracking down the “real” Mr. Lee becomes harder than Won Ho initially thought – as several crooks have already begun using Mr. Lee’s alias to conduct their own nefarious deals.

Can Won Ho discover the identity of the country’s most infamous drug lord?

In the 1920’s, Japanese military forces in Manchuria, China hunted down a handful of Korean liberation fighters willing to risk their lives to bring an end to the Japanese rule of Korea. Tasked with the mission to deliver funds to the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, Hwang Hae Cheol (Yoo Hae Jin) and a small band of subordinates set out at once. But the road ahead is anything but easy.

Relying heavily on his skill as a master swordsman and the sharp eye of Ma Byung Gu (Jo Woo Jin), a sniper under his command, Hae Cheol and his troop make their way towards Shanghai. Along the way, Hae Cheol is reunited with Lee Jang Ha (Ryu Jun Yeol), a young squad commander who is currently on a deadly mission of his own: to bait a battalion of Japanese forces into a valley near Fengwudong.
