Synopsis

A young woman named Eun-jin heads a mob of about 50 men. She's almost a living legend, feared for her extraordinary skills with her trademark blades and big gut. Her life takes a turn, though, when she is reunited with a long-lost sister, who makes a dying wish that she get married and have a child. Eun-jin ends up marrying Su-il, a clueless, timid government official who is disappointed when he learns his wife doesn't cook, clean or resemble a traditional housewife in any other way. But with the help of the dying sister, Eun-jin soon becomes "domesticated." Ultimately, though, her old way of life resurfaces when she is called back to avenge the death of one of her most loyal followers at the hands of a rival gang.
