In the opening scene, a drunk woman is crying to
a religious totem pole because she hasn’t been
touched by a man in a long time. She hits the
pole’s face breaking a piece of wood that looks
like a nose. Suddenly, lightning strikes, making
the nose erect. Several naked men come out of the
wood and grant her the wish all night long.
Years later, the emperor of an eastern Korean
region is telling the story to a councilman.
The broken piece of the nose has been a valuable
artifact ever since. But the emperor accidentally
touches it seductively, triggering its power.
A few minutes later, the councilman and
the emperor limp out of the chamber.
The emperor throws the nose into the streets,
scared that it will be triggered again.
Eventually, it is found by a woman who
wonders what the nose is used for.
All of a sudden, the village is surrounded by
half-naked men who grab every adult they can to
make love. They don’t even spare the poor
animals and leave the village a mess.
When everything calms down, an old priest performs
a ritual on the sacred nose. It is put into a wine
bottle and buried deep into the ground. Everyone
in the village promises to never talk about
the incident again and it is soon forgotten.
Then, we are introduced to a town in the northern
region where the women are the breadwinners
of the family. They make all the important
decisions while men are expected to take care of
the babies and do household work. In this village,
the primary responsibility of a man is to satisfy
their wives every night for hours. Because of the
same reason, all married men are constantly
tired and cannot work outside of the house.
One day, a group of thugs from another village are
enjoying a meal at a local restaurant. They pick
a fight with Byeon, a guy in his twenties who
sells rice cakes for a living. Initially, Byeon
keeps quiet, controlling his anger to the best of
his abilities. But when the thugs cross a line,
he single-handedly beats them all.
A group of women watches him closely,
discussing how lengthy his weapon must be.
An older lady laughs at them for assuming
such an absurd thing because she knows
Byeon has no game inside his pants.
As she tells them the story of how she found
out, we are taken to a flashback. One night,
Byeon was selling rice cakes as usual when he came
across a woman bathing out in the open. She called
him into the tub and proceeded to undress him but
it turned out he had a straw-sized manhood.
The women laugh and start looking at Byeon in a
different light. He is known in his village for
being impotent when it comes to certain matters.
Byeon cannot argue because he knows it is true.
In the following scene, we are introduced to
Byeon’s older brother Kang-mok. Unlike Byeon,
Kang-mok is known for being a manly man who could
satisfy any woman’s needs but chooses not to.
When he goes into the river to bathe, a group
of women of all ages gathers to watch him.
They long for a man with his assets and
have tried everything to seduce him but
nothing works on Kang-mok.
Later that night, Byeon is in a
restaurant drinking in misery. A man
touches him inappropriately to check
if the rumors are true which causes a fight
between them. Kang-mok quickly comes to his
brother’s rescue and carries him home.
On their way, they encounter a woman named
Dal-gaeng dancing on a bridge. Mesmerized by her
beauty, they fall into the water. She walks away
right after but her performance keeps playing
in both their minds. While drying their clothes,
Kang-mok recounts the day when his brother’s
genitals shrunk because of a mistake.
What most people don’t know is that Byeon was born
with a normal manhood. But when he was nineteen,
his pants lit on fire, and took his underwear
with it. To stop the fire, Kang-mok repeatedly
kicked him in the nuts. It saved Byeon’s life but
confirmed that he will never have a child.
The brothers’ relationship hasn’t been the
same since the incident but no matter how
much they fight, at the end of the day,
they always have each other’s back.
The next day, Byeon overhears a bunch
of guys talking about Dal-gaeng.
She just moved to the village but has managed to
catch everyone’s attention. Rumor has it that she
bathes in the river every night at 8 pm. The
group decides to watch her later that day.
Byeon also joins them and is made fun of since he
can watch beautiful girls all day long but cannot
do anything about it. Soon, Dal-gaeng arrives and
blows them away with her beauty. She accidentally
loses her sandal in the water and the men jump
hoping to be the one to help her. At last,
she gets the sandal herself and walks away.
The next morning, Dal-gaeng wakes up to a box of
food outside her hut. She devours it, thankful
to whoever kept it there. Later that day,
she catches Byeon placing a similar box
with flowers in front of the hut.
Dal-gaeng decides to take an early swim today
and is spotted by another group of perverted
men. They cannot get their eyes off her body
but are soon caught by their wives. Instead
of talking to their husbands, the women attack
Dal-gaeng for trying to seduce married men.
Kang-mok, who is cutting wood nearby, sees this
and runs to save her from the lunatics. After
everything calms down, they make friends with
each other and share a brief conversation.
Later at night, Kang-mok tells his brother
to start preparing for a wedding because
he has found a wife for himself. The wife
turns out to be none other than Dal-gaeng.
Heartbroken by the news, Byeon storms away.
He goes to the bridge and drowns in his thoughts.
Somewhere nearby, the old priest and
his disciple are trapped in a net set
of wild animals. They have been tangled
for hours and need immediate help.
Byeon hears them and saves their lives. The
persist listens to Byeon’s concerns and suggests
a way he can reverse his impotence and become
the best woman pleaser in the entire country.
Byeon is asked to drink only one sip of wine
from the bottle that was buried with the sacred
nose long ago. The priest continues explaining
the consequences of drinking more than a sip
but Byeon is no longer interested.
He digs the wine out of the ground,
finishes the entire bottle, and passes out drunk
for more than a day. When he wakes up again, even
little insects and wild mushrooms are attracted
to his crotch. On his way home, he finds out every
man in the village has been drafted to war but he
missed the draft since he was drunk. Because of
this, he is the only man left in the village.
In Kang-mok’s absence, he is to take care of the
house, the business, and most importantly,
Kang-mok’s wife. At night, Byeon cooks food
for his sister-in-law and accidentally walks
into her sleeping in an erotic position.
Because of his newly repaired genitals,
he has a hard time controlling himself.
To get rid of the sex drive, he chops wood the
entire night and drinks a pond dry. As expected,
he has to pee after drinking so much
water which is when he finds out his
new manhood is basically a water hose.
At the same time, the princess and her guards are
passing by the jungle below the hill. Chaos ensues
when a wildfire spreads and people start to run.
But they are ultimately saved when Byeon puts out
the fire by urinating from the top of the hill.
Not just that but at one point, he urinates
on the sun and dims its light for a second.
The women in the village are sick of spending
their nights alone because of their husband’s
absence. Hence, on hearing news about the new
and powerful manhood, they all grow excited.
A barwoman who saw the water hose action tells
everyone else about it using a fish as an example.
But the women will only believe it when they
see Byeon’s equipment with their own eyes.
At night, they gather outside his house and spy
on him. The man seems to be juggling a piece of
cloth but both his hands are by his side and
his legs don’t leave the ground. The group’s
suspicion is proven to be true when Byeon turns
around displaying himself in all his glory.
The next time Byeon goes out to sell
the rice cakes, he encounters several
women trying to seduce him. Some are more
subtle while others flash him directly.
Still, Byeon keeps his stance and controls
himself. One night, the barwoman loses her
patience and breaks into his house, determined to
make love to him. Byeon senses her attraction and
claims that she cannot handle him. In retaliation,
the barwoman laughs because she has been with
more men than there is hair in his head.
Byeon takes it as a challenge and rocks her
night. The noise wakes the entire village and in
a few minutes, a crowd of women comes to his house
waiting for their turn to get in bed with him.
When he is done with the barwoman, she gets a
nosebleed. She proudly claims that she will need
at least ten business days to recover. One after
another, every woman in the village is pleased
by Byeon but his stamina never runs out.
He doesn’t differentiate between the young
and the old ones and treats them all with
the same amount of love. By the morning,
he has had intercourse with every single
woman in the village except Dal-gaeng.
In the next scene, the princess tells the
emperor about the unnaturally long genitals
in the town. The emperor makes his guard
kidnap Byeon and bring him to the palace.
He is then given a chance to free his brother
and bring him back from the war. All he has
to do is to participate in a weight lifting
competition and win. But the kick is that he
cannot use his hands to carry the weight.
Byeon accepts the challenge and goes against the
champion of the lifting competition. Initially,
he struggles because he isn’t aroused. The
princess realizes this and gives him a push
by eating a banana seductively. After watching
her, Byeon picks several kilograms of weight
and wins the competition.
As promised, the soldiers go to
the warzone to bring Kang-mok back but they do
not find him which means he must have died.
Depressed about his brother’s death, Byeon
refuses to talk to anyone, making the women
thirsty for his love again. They try catching
his attention time and again but nothing works.
Simultaneously, the village is hit by the
worst drought of the decade. The scarcity
of water and food makes Dal-gaeng sick.
After a week of fighting the disease, she is
on the verge of death. No doctor has a way to save
her but one day, Byeon calls a spiritual monk to
his house. The man suggests that the only way to
save Dal-gaeng is for someone to make love to her.
Since Kang-mok is dead, he thinks it won’t be
a problem for Byeon to take responsibility.
Byeon thinks about it for hours before
finally making love to Dal-gaeng
at night. Like the monk had predicted,
she feels a lot better the next day.
The old priest and the emperor are worried about
the drought that is starting to kill people from
starvation. The priest reveals that the sacred
female bear who lives in the woods is not happy
with the people of the empire. Hence, she has
brought drought upon them as punishment.
To satisfy her, one must sacrifice their life
to her. Back in the village, all women get sick
at the same time, including Dal-gaeng, and find
out they are pregnant with Byeon’s children.
At the same time, their husbands
return from war but are not told
about what happened in their absence. A
few days pass but the women are no longer
satisfied with their husbands’ sex drive.
Then one day, Kang-mok returns from the war,
revealing that he lost a leg. The men also
discover that their wives have been impregnated
by Byeon. Unable to face his brother and everyone
else, Byeon volunteers to be the sacrifice the
village needs to end the drought.
The women weep at the loss of such a
magnificent man but the officials
have already made the decision.
Byeon enters the cave with the bear and waits to
be attacked. Some time passes but the rain never
comes. Everyone assumes that the ritual failed
and that Byeon sacrificed his life for nothing.
But then, we see Byeon making love to the sacred
bear, satisfying her in a different way than the
priest wanted him to.
The plan works and the
village is blessed with heavy rainfall.
The scene cuts to a few years later. The tale
of the legendary libido is still narrated around
the country. Byeon’s sons have grown up and have
inherited water hose power from their father.
In the last scene, the princess is on a boat
telling her friends about the time she
met the one and only sexual legend. The
man rowing the boat turns around and reveals
that he is the said legend.
