Plot

During the Qin Dynasty, general Meng Yi is tasked to escort the Korean princess Ok-Soo from Korea to marry the Qin emperor in China. Along the journey, a Korean warrior attempts to seize her back but Meng saves her. Ok-Soo falls in love with Meng and displays her affections for him openly, but Meng keeps his honour by rejecting her and successfully completing his mission. The Qin emperor becomes critically ill later and he sends Meng to find the immortality elixir, the only thing that can save his life. The guards escorting the elixir are ambushed by rebels on the orders of the treacherous prince and chancellor. Meng hands over the elixir to his deputy Nangong Yan and dies in the ensuing battle. Although Nangong manages to hand the elixir to the emperor, the traitors accuse him and Ok-Soo of treason and force them to consume the elixir, condemning them to imprisonment in the Qin emperor's mausoleum for eternity.

In the present-day, Jack, an archeologist, is the reincarnation of Meng Yi, as he often dreams about his past life. One day, his friend William invites him on a quest to hunt a rare material that can create a field of zero gravity. They travel to a floating tomb of a Dassar king in India, where Jack finds a sword and has a recollection of a duel he had with the king in his past life. William accidentally removes a piece of the material and the zero gravity field collapses, destroying the tomb. William manages to escape but Jack leaps off a cliff and falls into a river. He loses consciousness and drifts along until he is saved by a woman named Samantha. Later, Samantha brings Jack to see her uncle, a Kalaripayattu guru, who enlightens him about his past and future. Jack succeeds in returning home safely and he delivers the sword to the National Museum of China as a national treasure. His action angered the leader of the secret organisation that has been funding Jack and William's treasure hunt.

After extensive research, Jack and William conclude that the anti-gravity material is actually fragments of a meteorite that fell to Earth during the Qin Dynasty. They find the exact location of the Qin emperor's mausoleum, concealed behind a waterfall. The massive tomb contains the strongest fragment of the meteorite, which is powerful enough to make the tomb become a floating palace. Jack meets Ok-Soo and Nangong Yan inside the tomb and they mistake him for Meng Yi. Just then, a group of intruders led by the organisation's leader enters the tomb and they attempt to seize the immortality elixir, culminating into an aerial fight between the two parties. William accidentally breaks the balance of the field after removing a piece of the meteorite and causes the tomb to collapse on itself, and dies after drowning in the mercury river. Jack escapes from the collapsing tomb, asking Ok-Soo to come with him, but she refuses after realising that Jack is not Meng Yi. Before the film ends, Jack is seen writing a book about his experiences, which he dedicates to William.

Jie kai wo zui shen mi de deng dai
Xing xing zhui luo feng zai chui dong
Zhong yu zai jiang ni yong ru huai zhong

Xiang xin wo bu bian de zhen xin
Quan nian deng dai you wo cheng nuo
Wu lun jing guo duo shao de han dong
Wo jue bu fang shuo

Mei yi ye bei xing tong chuan yue

English Lyrics

(Jackie)

Release me from this mysterious waiting
the stars are falling, the wind is blowing
Finally I can hold you in my arms
Two hearts beating together
Believe me that my heart has never change
waiting a thousand year, You have my promise
No matter how many cold winter have passed
I will never let you go

(Hee-Seon)

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands
Please recall the past when we were in love
We loved each other too much
That is the source of our pain
it's sorrowful that we cant even say I love you

(Jackie)

Every night my heart aches
I never stop thinking of you
I am used to being alone for such a long time
And I face it with a smile
Believe me, I choose to wait
Even though its painful, I wont leave
Zhi you ni de wen rou neng jie jiu
Only your tenderness can save me
From the endless cold

(Hee-Seon)

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands
Please recall the past when we were in love
We loved each other too much
That is the source of our pain
it's sorrowful that we cant even say I love you

(Jackie & Hee-Seon)

Let the love in our hearts
Become a blossoming flower
We can pass through time, never bowing our heads,
And never giving up our dream

(Hee-Seon)

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands
Please recall the past when we were in love
We loved each other too much
That is the source of our pain
it's sorrowful that we cant even say I love you

(Jackie & Hee-Seon)

Let the love in our hearts
Become a blossoming flower

(Hee-Seon)

We never forget our promise

(Jackie & Hee-Seon)

Only true love follows us
as we travel through the endless space and time

(Hee-Seon)

It's sorrowful that we cant even say I love you

(Jackie)

Love is the only myth that exist in the hearts that never change

Lyrics :

Wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here

I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you were here)

wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
Felt the joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes

wish you were here
Me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you here)

I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second is like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away

(the snow is getting colder and i wish you were here
(a battlefield of love and fear, and i wish you were here)

I've got feelings for you
From the first time I laid my eyes on you

wish you were here
me oh my country man
wish you were here
(wish you were here)

I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder?
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

(wish you were here)
(I wish you were here)
