On his deathbed, the supreme dark leader is given an ironic second chance at life. He’s reborn as Jin-Mu, a young disciple of his rival clan, the righteous Mudang. Determined to make the best of a bad situation, he resolves to plunge the clan into corruption and debauchery by becoming their master disciple. Oblivious to this nefarious scheme, the Mudang begin to fall for Jin-Mu's audacious approach to life and martial arts. Will Jin-Mu be the Mudang Clan’s downfall or just the kick in the pants it needs?
