"Bhiksuni" was the founding work of Taeheung Film Company in 1984. Producer Lee Tae-won decided to produce "Bhiksuni" on an unconventional scale at the time and formed a luxurious lineup with director Im Kwon-taek, filming Jung Il-sung, screenplay Song Gil-han, and starring Kim Ji-mi. The film was stopped due to opposition from the Buddhist community when one-fifth of Song Gil-han's screenplays, which consisted of 170 scenes in total, were filmed. The rush film of "Bhiksuni", which was accidentally found in the warehouse of Taeheung Film Company in 2013, evokes regret that another masterpiece was almost released to be listed in Korean film history. The unfinished version of "Bhiksuni" will remain a valuable indicator in that it suggests not only the appearance of a masterpiece as a frustrated record, but also the aesthetic attitude of condensation and moderation that is difficult to find in current Korean films.
