As teased by my excerpt of a fight from this beastly movie, I have finally decided to strike through its heart with this montage I've had lying dormant in the back of my head ever since watching Z3ulex's nifty old school show of grit here: youtube.com/watch?v=TOA6nfDGj90


Editing Shahmen has also been an old ambition of mine, so here I am scratching both itches in this parade of metal scream and reckless abandon, all spun out by the undying last breath of a solitary swordsman in his journey to rescue the one daughter he values more than any battle for power. Thrown in the misty aftermath of a revered king's removal through a coup d'etat, he carves his way through clouded beliefs and foreign-clad Qing interlopers alike, all in the shade of the fabled lands of 17th century Joseon.

It was in this context that I have taken advantage of a few days of respite during the preparation for my dissertation around a month ago and nudged a shot at sketching out this gritty mural for ya. Alas, my dissertation is also due very soon, so I am now laying down my blade as I welcome you to enjoy this combo that I trust you'll find fitting.

I'd also like to once again bring epic thanks to the man Z3ulex's inspired decision to edit the Shahmen/Bebop combo as he did in ENP IC, inspiring me to put out my own interpretation. I was also encouraged by the drive to keep reinventing myself, thanks to being part of inspiring mediums such as Indigo Team : youtube.com/channel/UCxrPkSZ9do1_mzkjAsVZ2hw


Last but not least, how can I forget, cuz you're up there too, kiddo... I'd also wanna pump out massive thanks once again for the support shown for my work and new editing directions by ma boi Scott, whose Koreaboofication has just begun (:D) youtube.com/channel/UCHt--Fv3f_M_CBe2BNtrdaQ Aside from the boost in my confidence, Scott is also responsible for boosting up my video quality (literally), through some encoding tips & tricks; so am all the more forever grateful (more... forever? yeah)!


The decision to finally edit this combo also appeased my desire to honour the amazing actor Jang Hyuk with a tribute of one of the many movies and series he has shined in. So here's at least a beginning in doing so.

Hoping this sword dance (geom-mu) shall be sweeping you all far enough out of your shoes for you to excitingly expect more of my exceptional mumbo-jumbo next time! (as it sure is on the way)
