Once you have accepted your destiny, nothing can alter it unless time flows backwards, snow falls in the spring, and the dead come back to life
The Promise is a fantasy/drama film that I can’t really keep out of my mind. Possibly one of the finest asian (chinese-korean) movies I have ever seen.
Spoiled, from the MonkeyPeaches WUJI page: Favored by the Goddess of Fortune a young woman became the most beautiful royal concubine (Cecilia Cheung) in the world. Spoiled by The King, she lived a life of extreme luxury. But fate cursed her never to enjoy true love until the time flows backwards and the dead come back to life. Then a slave (Jang Dong-kun), sincerely in love with her, determined to lift the curse with his own life as the price. He used his extraordinary close to light speed run broke the shackle fate put on her. She returned to the beginning of her life and obtained the right to choose again.
Be careful what you promise. Be careful what you wish for. Before starting the promise, please make sure that you agree on the meaning of the promise.
