Hwang-yong, who was learning martial arts from his master in the mountains, went down to Seoul. Hwang-yong, who got a job at a massage shop, makes a lot of money by becoming famous for his ability, but he is swindled by Se-yeong and loses all his assets and his ability, making him inutile. After returning to the mountain as a ruined man, Son-ji trains his martial arts again, and Hwang-yong, who has regained his ability, sets up a massage shop with Son-ji.

Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills.
