Hi comrades, just wanted to share a popular action movie from the DPRK that was a hit both at home and abroad back in the day.

Hong Kil Dong, the illegitimate son of a nobleman, is trapped between worlds. Denied his birthright and scorned by high society, he becomes a champion for the oppressed, defending peasants from local bandits and the tyranny of the ruling class. His quest for justice is complicated by his love for an aristocratic woman, a relationship forbidden by the vast social chasm between them. When a mysterious force of ninjas arrives, Hong Kil Dong must unite both commoners and nobles to face a threat that could destroy the entire kingdom.
