Take to the skies in writer/director Yoon Jong Chan's
Blue Swallow, a film inspired by the life of Park Kyung
Won, credited as one of Korea's first female civilian pilots! The
Sorum director reunites
Singles co-stars Jang
Jin Young (
Over the Rainbow) and Kim Joo Hyuk (
When Romance Meets Destiny) in telling its fictionalized account
of the life of Park Kyung Won (Jang), a woman pilot living under Japanese colonial rule who bravely puts everything on the
line in order to achieve her dream of flying the friendly skies!
Born and raised in Daegu, Kyung Won believed that aviation school in Japan was her ticket out of poverty. To achieve her
dream, she spends her days studying, while at night, she works tirelessly as a mechanic and taxi driver to save enough money
for tuition. For five long years, Kyung Won attends aviation school, eventually graduating at the top of her class. But even
as she earns her pilot's license, there's one thing she hasn't planned for - being forced to choose between her job and her
love, as she falls for Han Ji Hyuk (Kim), a weather officer.
With a story so unique, several questions arise. What inspired her to choose such a dangerous occupation? What was her
relationship with the Japanese, if any? And what kind of anti-Korean prejudice did she have to encounter in Japan? These questions
and many more will be answered in Blue Swallow, an exhilarating tale of one woman who dared to dream! Shot in the United
States, Japan, China, and Korea, the film also stars Nakamura Toru (Tokyo Raiders, Gen X Cops, 2009 Lost
Memories), Yu Min (Bad Wife, All In), Han Ji Min (Revenge, Dae Jang Geum), and Kim Tae Hyun
(All for Love, Spin Kick).
