Strictly speaking,
the sword Kim Dong-hoo was holding wasn’t a perfect prop.
To capture its sharpness on camera, it had been modified, its edge somewhat sharpened.
But it was just a bit of sharpening—not enough to actually slice through anything substantial. Cutting through straw was a different matter entirely.
Thud.
Gi Seong-chan, the martial arts director, dropped his Maxim coffee to the ground.
Straw, when stood upright, doesn’t typically slice.
The fact that it had been split meant that something else had been cut.
‘He severed the rope holding it together.’
More precisely, he cut through the rope as well.
A perfectly straight cut doesn’t exist.
And that’s exactly what had happened.
