Once Upon a Time - Korean movie trailer

The film takes place during the Japanese occupation of Korea, towards the end of the war. Anyway, the story pretty much centers around this 3000 carat diamond that was found in a coffin. The Japanese want it to show how powerful the empire is. The Koreans want it to liberate themselves. The diamond is stolen by Haedanghwa from the Japanese the rest of the film is a cat and mouse game. There are 2 supporting actors in the film, one plays a cook the other the host of the restaurant. They had me rolling the entire time, I haven't laughed like that watching a Korean film in a long time. The music and overall look of the film was done really well. There are a couple of nice fistfights and things going boom. I'm glad to see Korea take such a dark time in their history and laugh about it. Even though it's pro Korea. :)
