Woochi

This modern reinterpretation of the Jeon U-chi chronicles takes viewers back to the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), when Taoist wizards and evil goblins fought over a magic flute. Woochi (Kang Dong-won) is a troublemaking ascetic in training who abuses his Taoist magic to play pranks. But Woochi and his sidekick Choraengi are framed for murdering their master, who had died trying to protect the magic flute, and are banished inside paintings. But when the goblins return for the flute in modern-day Seoul, Taoist wizards summon Woochi back, promising him the title of a Taoist master if he catches the goblins. 12 and over. 136 minutes. No English subtitles available.
