Chan spends much of his screen time fighting the dreams that reveal to him that he is the reincarnation of Meng Yi, a general who fell for the emperor's beautiful consort Ok Soo (Kim Hee Seon) 2,000 years ago. As he leads his troops in a desperate war against rebels, he also has to battle his own desires, and decide whether he should have Ok Soo or maintain his loyalty.
Kim Hee Seon looks awesome and ethereal, but even her scenes with Chan are flat.
