Kick the Moon 2001

Ten years ago, a legendary fighter named Choi Gi-dong and a timid straight-A student named Park Young-joon set out on a high school field trip to Gyeongju, where fate intervenes and forever alters the course of their lives.

One night during a school gala, Gi-dong leads his entire school into a massive brawl against a local gang, while Park Young-joon stays behind at the party, overwhelmed by fear. The streets become a chaotic battlefield — blood, broken bones, and the raw energy of a fight that will be talked about for years. Gi-dong earns admiration for his bravery, while Young-joon is ostracized for his fear, marking a sharp divide between them that lasts a decade.

Ten years later, Gi-dong and Young-joon cross paths again in Gyeongju, this time in very different roles. Gi-dong has become a daunting physical education teacher at a local high school, while Young-joon has slipped into the world of organized crime, rising to power as a gangster. Their reunion brings a surprising blend of nostalgia and tension, as old memories resurface and the old rivalry hums just beneath the surface.

Before they say farewell, the two men encounter a damsel in distress — Ju-ran — and are both drawn to her bright, easy smile. Ju-ran’s presence stirs something in them, and what begins as mutual attraction quickly shifts into competition. Gi-dong stakes his claim on Ju-ran, but Young-joon treats it as a fair challenge. What started as a charming reunion becomes a test of loyalty, pride, and control.

Young-joon decides to extend his trip to Gyeongju, not only to pursue Ju-ran but also to settle old scores with Gi-dong. The plan draws them both deeper into a web of jealousy and risk, and soon the entire city seems to be pulled into their personal duel. What follows is a high-stakes struggle to win Ju-ran’s heart, a contest that could leave more than reputations in ruins and might demand a painful toll of bones and pride.
