| Review Summary |
2009 LOST MEMORIES is a Korean movie written and directed by Si-myung Lee in 2002.
The year is 2009 and Korea is now belonging to Japan. In fact, Korea hasn't been a free country for more than a century. This alteration of history has been caused by the failed assassination of the Japanese governor of the country in 1909 by Ahn Chung-gun, the hero of the Korean independence. Ahn Chung-gun has been stopped by a Japanese agent coming from the future.
After this event, a terrorist organisation of Korean natives has tried for years to steal from the Japanese Inoué Foundation the magical artifacts that have enabled Japan to send someone into the past. Now, helped by Sakamoto, a Korean investigator working for the J.P.I. (Japanese Bureau of Investigation), these terrorists have finally managed to take possession of the magical stone. Sakamoto is sent into the past, in 1909, promptly followed by Saiko, a Japanese J.P.I. man who'll try to stop Sakamoto.
