Look no further. The Huntress teaser
Set in the Joseon period of Korea (a rather large slab of time of 500 years or so?) it features 3 bounty hunters Jin-Ok (Ha Ji-Won), Hong-Dan (Kang Ye-Won) & Ga-Bi (Son Ga-In) who form a group to thwart a power play against the royal throne.
Are they Musketeers? or more probably Ninjas?, possibly three Stooges? or even Charlies Angels....Nah. Directed by Park Je-Hyun, set for release in May 2013, it is a martial arts romp that has a good dose of the comedic. However the few comedies that I have seen from Korea always seem to run deeper than the silly and stupid that we have come to expect from Hollywood so I'm expecting interesting at the very least.
Maybe this is along the lines of what Maria Tran is doing with her filmmaking in Sydney?
I shall wait and see.

Synopsis
As a child, Jin-ok witnessed the murder of her father and narrowly
escaped death. She is taken under the wing of Mu-myeong, the man who
saved her life, and trains in martial arts alongside two other girls. 10
years pass and the girls are now Joseon's best bounty hunters. One day,
Jin-ok is asked to take on a case for a handsome reward. Against their
master's wishes, the trio takes on the job, not knowing it will
eventually lead them to the man responsible for the death of Jin-ok's
father 10 years before.
