Collectors

Early one morning, two monks come across a young colleague who says he is guarding the Hwangyeong Temple pagoda because of a rumour that a grave robber is operating in the area. The problem is that the man of faith is actually said grave robber, Dong-goo (Lee Je-hoon). Bold and brazen, he plans to steal a priceless golden Buddha. He then finds himself hunted by the men of the Machiavellian Jin Sang-gil (Song Young-chan), a cruel collector of cultural artefacts with unlimited resources. Following a transaction with the beautiful Sae-hee (Shin Hye-sun), the wealthy businessman's adjutant, Dong-goo begins a risky association with Mr. Jin. Caught in a trap, he offers to steal the legendary sword of King Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. In order to get his hands on this unobtainable relic, he will have to assemble a team whose talents are matched only by their, shall we say, peculiar personalities...
