[edit] Plot
The movie starts out with a meeting between the rulers of Baekje, Silla, Tang China, and Goguryeo. They are arguing why the Korean southern kingdoms have to pay tribute to China, even though Tang is only 50 years old. The king of Silla sided with the King of Tang. It flashes forward to the scene in which Baekje soldiers ruch to the king stating ill news of Silla and Tang allying together, bringing an army of 50,000 soldiers. The Baekje council discusses battle plans. But in the end, all of the officials run away in cowardice. The king of Baekje calls for the great warrior, Kae Baek. He accepts the offer to protect his country after three glasses of wine. There was an order at night for two Baekje soldiers to converse with Silla soldiers at the Silla camp. Silla and Baekje both have different dialects in their language, so the soldiers have to adjust the way they spoke. But, one of the soldiers slips and accidentally uses a Baekje word, causing commotion within the Silla ranks.
