half moon
the outside of the instrument is held
together by an ornate frame with several
gemstones inlaid the academy is headed
by a reputed master whose talent is
widely regarded it is said that the

will honor today the master is facing
the sacred drums ping kneels before him
and wordlessly hands him his
recommendation letter the master reads
it and learns that ping comes from a
family of musicians who had served in
the palace and he is very talented
pink takes his place among the students
in the hall the master begins the vow
that each student has to take to serve
the pong mang if anyone disrespects the
academy or works to slander or break the
band they will die within three days and
become a ghost this is part of the magic
of the poem mang since the instrument
also protects the master who wields it
the students glance around uneasily and
a few even walk out of the hall once
they step out the door closes behind
them
afterward the master annoyance ping and
a beautiful dancer comes out and
performs a traditional dance another
beautiful woman this time wearing a gold
dress comes out to dance too she steals
ping's undivided attention and a white
flower falls from her hairdo that night

the altar he also steals one of the
gemstones on the pommang

appointment with the master he humbly
asks him if he could study the
illustrious poemang and the master
agrees on the condition that ping takes
it slowly when learning the instrument
one of the women dancers arrives with
pie another musician in the band karn a
student that has befriended ping assumes
that she's the girl that entrance ping
but she's actually the other dancer the
identity of the woman in the gold dress
remains elusive
the academy's patron arrives and donates
much-needed essentials for the students
he brings with him a deputy from the
district who has his own musical band as
well
that night while performing during a
funeral the student who stole earlier
starts hallucinating he sees skulls
poking out of the percussion drums he is
playing and an old lady menacingly
grinning at him with blood flowing down
her face the student begins banging his
head on his drums gouging one of his
eyes out in the process
finally his body cannot take it any
longer and he crumples to the floor
days later his body disappears
this is because the steelers student
violated the oath and now the curse has
claimed him
peng is walking around the forest around
the academy when he sees an isolated
cabin he is warned by his classmate
never to go there because the house is
off limits but pink still ventures
closer and discovers that the same
beautiful woman he saw leaves here but
she is littered with him and banishes
him out of her property with the
steelers student gone the master chooses
pai to replace him as the main
percussion drum player however the
master is not satisfied with pi's skill
or patience and he reprimands him
ping later visits the woman's cottage
again the inside is very spacious and
warm and ping approaches her while she's
braiding several flowers she introduces
herself as thip she is still
standoffishward ping and she answers his
questions reluctantly moments later that
takes ping to the nearby river she
teaches him how to play the drums using
the water's gentle ebb and flow but then
fifth sees something in the distance and
she leads ping alone to practice pai and
the dancer go to the market to do
errands for the master the dancer uses
the money for the master's medicine to
buy her own personal things pie
disagrees with her action but the dancer
assures her boyfriend that no one will
know
however the deputy is stationed in a
watchtower over the market and notices
the two academy students he orders his
guards to take them to him later the
deputy welcomes pai and the dancer to
his luxurious lodgings a servant brings
forth a beautifully embroidered costume
with matching jewelry the dancer is
immediately bowled over by its beauty
the deputy then pounces he offers pie
and the dancer positions in his own band
but pied is resolute that he will never
betray the vow he made during the
ceremony he explains to the deputy just
how special a master's poem mang is but
only worthy musicians can wield that
instrument the deputy bristles applies
insinuation that he isn't worthy enough
to be the master of the poem he urges
the couple to think about their decision
carefully that night the deputy is
visited by a mysterious force it howls
at him and the lights in the house turn
dark the deputy stabs the unseen force
and it painfully shrieks that same night
pink sees thip walking toward him she
collapses in his arms pink hurriedly
brings her to the forest and asks a
passerby for directions to the doctor's
place
to his horror he realizes that the
passerby is the steelers student he is
followed by a crowd of ghosts shouting
for ping's help the next thing ping
knows he wakes up in the forest and fip
is now fine she is guarded once again
and she orders him to leave her alone
and go to bed he thinks everything was
just a dream and doesn't notice that
thip is still wincing from the wound on
her side
meanwhile the master is praying to the
pong man and suddenly blood begins to
drip down the instrument
the dancer is convincing pie to leave
the master's band and switch to the
deputy's side
pai is scared that if they break the vow
they will follow the steelers student's
fate but the dancer argues that going to
the well-off deputies band will provide
them with financial stability
the next morning rehearsals are not
going well and the master shouts at the
dancer he orders her to leave the
practice she storms out and makes up her
mind about leaving the band she is
hurriedly packing in her room when she
sees a reflection of her face mart in
the mirror when pie arrives in her room
later she is gone in a trance the dancer
strips off her clothes and walks deep
into the forest an unseen force starts
contorting her body into various dance
positions breaking her bones one by one
until it finally snaps her chick neck
pink continues to meet thip and they
work on improving his skills he asks her
a question that has been bothering him
for a while now about why no one else in
the academy knows thip the secretive
girl climbs up and doesn't answer to
lighten the mood instead ping shows her
how good he's gotten at playing the
drums thip is delighted to see his
progress and comments that it's a shame
that pai is the pombang drummer when
ping is much better than him
soon after the academy's patron hears
that the dancer has disappeared he is
disappointed that the masters band is
now lacking members so if he punishes
them by cutting her supplies in half the
deputy swoops in and offers the master
an opportunity to merge their two bands
however the master takes his vow to keep
the ban whole seriously so he refuses
the deputy's offer discord begins to
brew between the members of the band one
student now wants to quit and join the
deputy's band because he has a family to
think about
khan is angry at him and brands him as a
coward the two get into a fight and pink
stops them the master watches this all
from a distance as the days go by fip
and pink fall deeper in love they spend
as much time as they can in the forest
where no one can see them meanwhile the
master is no closer to replacing the
lost members of his band he and the
deputy meet with a patron who proposes
that the two bands go head-to-head for
his patronage
if the masters band loses they will be
part of the deputy's band the masters
band begins to do intense rehearsal
sessions the master is stressed from the
heavy pressure of the competition and is
very critical his band's performance
pai asks the master for the chance to
play the sacred poem mang during the
contest but the master is not confident
in his skills so he refuses
this causes discontent in pie and he
mulls over the idea of leaving the band
that night the master performs a ritual
to honor the poem mang he douses it with
coconut milk while he chants one of the
students starts collapsing and
convulsing the master urges him to be
strong and feeds him coconut milk
paint goes to the hut where the student
is now resting and sees a vision of fit
with her hands over his classmate's body
a second later she disappears he visits
thip and professes that even if the
master's ban is defeated it will not go
to the deputy's band thip is impressed
by his dedication and the two
passionately consummate their love that
night the day the competition arrives
the masters band starts out strong but
pie begins to play discordantly the
patron is enraged by the poor quality of
the performance and the master's band
loses pie then surprises everyone by
switching to the deputy's band others
follow him as well only karn and ping
remain carton starts another fight with
the defectors and this causes the master
to weaken and almost fall
however things go to a standstill when a
haunting shriek pierces the air and the
atmosphere darkens but fortunately the
deputy shaman banishes this unseen force
from the room that night shaman comments
that the spirit of the po man guarding
the master is very strong
ping and thip have another rendezvous
she is much more open now and tells him
about her stepfather whom she loves very
much pain promises her that when he
becomes her husband and father of her
children he will be devoted to their
family
peng has a dream of fit lying
unconscious on the floor and a man
cutting a lock of her hair
one day the deputy storms inside the
academy with his band he demands to take
every instrument including the pommang
however the master calls in to question
the band's worthiness in playing such a
sacred instrument and so they come up
with a new competition this time if the
masters ban fails the deputy will take
the pong mang the two bands play
simultaneously with ping and pie facing
off on the pom mang at first the two
band's performances are evenly matched
but it becomes apparent that ping is the
superior drum player to pai pai is in
disbelief since he has years of
experience over ping but the truth is
clear to everyone the master's band has
won suddenly the spirit of the poem man
clutches one of the master's former
students it rips his throat out everyone
is frozen in horror but deputy springs
into action and orders his guards to
seize the pon mang pink tries to fight
them off but the guards are not shy and
using force and they kick even the
master in the end they have no choice
but to watch as the sacred instrument is
taken from the academy
that night khan runs away he has seen
that the master only cares about the pom
mang and he regrets spending years of
his life being loyal to him the master
commands ping for his bravery and tells
him that he wants ping to inherit the
band when he dies
the master also explains that ping's
ancestor created the band with the
master's father he gives ping a pile of
letters and points him toward the family
cemetery behind the house he urges ping
to fulfill his destiny apparently this
destiny is the one that ping has been
dreaming about the last words that his
grandfather had uttered or about a girl
that ping has to free from her suffering
the master also adds that ping has to
take care of khan too
karn overhears this and realizes that
the master does care about him he crawls
inside the room penitent for his
transgressions the master hands him
money so he can pay off his family's
farm debts
meanwhile the former students are
starting to get cold feet about their
decision to switch to the deputy's band
pai sneaks into the deputy's collection
and secretly plays the sacred poem mang
but the drums do not produce beautiful
sounds like they did when ping was
playing them pi enterly slams on the
drums the spirit retaliates by clawing
in his chest and breaking pi's bones
with the drums with a sickening crunch
one drum lands a final blow on his head
fit visits the master he remarks that
it's been a long time since he had seen
her he regrets that she has suffered all
these years because she was loyal to
their father and says that he wants her
to be free the deputy arrives at his
house and discovers that his banned
players have died mysterious and
horrific deaths he instructs his guards
to burn everything down ping explores
the family crypt inside the forest
inside is the pomang the deputy and his
shaman follow ping there and the deputy
attempts to steal the instrument again
suddenly the spirit of the instrument
reveals itself it's the ghastly version
of thip it turns out she has been the
spear guarding the drums all along she
yanks the shaman's head back and rips
his scalp off the deputy then stabs the
drums to weaken fit she turns to kill
the deputy next but ping begs her not to
wreak havoc her love for ping causes her
to revert to her old self
right then other spirits of the band
players appear and drag the deputy to
the afterlife

her stepfather thip voluntarily offered
her skin to be used in the making of the
drums so her stepfather and ping's
grandfather killed her and skinned her
and created the sacred poem mang

guarding whoever is the master of the
instrument it is now ping's destiny to
