Summary
A thousand years ago, in the era of Unified Silla, the people feared a giant creature lurking in the sea — a beast they called the Sea Dragon. To appease it, they offered young girls as human sacrifices.
General Jang Bo-go, a Silla commander operating undercover as a spy in China, senses danger and hastily sets sail for home. To shake off the Chinese soldiers pursuing him, he must cross the deadly waters where the Sea Dragon is said to appear. When he finally confronts the beast, its overwhelming power dwarfs his ship and his forces. A desperate battle for survival begins between Jang Bo-go and the Sea Dragon.
The Sea Serpent is a fantasy period epic conceived as a "Korean Pirates of the Caribbean." Built around the clash between the legendary General Jang Bo-go and a colossal sea dragon, this film IP delivers spectacular maritime action with strong potential across Asian markets and global rights expansion.
