The Myth (shen hua)
By ChinaFilm.com Published: 2008-04-16
Meng Yi, a Qin Dynasty-era general and a supreme leader and warrior, is assigned to receive the Emperor's latest wife, a Korean Princess named Ok Soo. Ok Soo's union with the Emperor isn't heavily popular with some Korean nationals, including General Choi, who attacks Ok Soo's entourage to get his point across. In the ensuing melee, Ok Soo is endangered, and Meng Yi and his super powered horse manage to save her, but get cut off from the rest of the Chinese army. Ok Soo and Meng Yi are stranded and must journey back to China alone, during which time a romance blooms.
Meanwhile in the present, archaeologist Jack finds himself dreaming of his past life and his love for Ok Soo...although he has no idea it's his former life. Currently, Jack is involved in a deal with scientist pal, William. The two are investigating meteorite fragments that possess gravity-defying abilities. Basically, the rocks can make things float, and there is a coffin in Dasar, India that is proof of this special power. However, in raiding the tomb, Jack stumbles upon a painting of Ok Soo and an ancient sword that likely belonged to Meng Yi. Past and present collide, and Jack soon finds himself chasing a dream that may actually be reality.
