Audience Member After a bit of a leave i am back writing reviews right now and its been a while at most. Before i start i would like to think while my country (South Korea) hasn't made any decent or good animated films? In the 80s there was this massive Rave on animated Rip-Offs and we were in front with such classics as... "Phoenix King" (The low grade and especially rips off Mazinger Z, Ippatsuman, Space Cruiser Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam). Despite it i use to watch it when i was young. "Space Gundam V" (This ultra Low Budget shit feast i just bought on DVD for no reason, This was brought out becuase of the Korea media ban on Japan.) And now after years of trying we finally have "Empress Chung" decent at most and just trageted at children...But the animation and idea is orginal and very good. At least now broth states of movie my country worked on this not just south. Like any Disney adventured In the 18th century, Shim Chung is the good-natured daughter of old government employee Shim Hakku, a loyal and honest man who works for the king.

In the 18th century, Shim Chung is the good-natured daughter of old government employee Shim Hakku, a loyal and honest man who works for the king. One day, he refuses to join some sinister ministers who are conspiring against the sovereign, so they set fire to his house. He loses his sight, and all his family members die except his daughter Chung. Hakku also becomes very poor as a result of the conspiracies. Fourteen years later, Chung lives in the countryside with her father Hakku. She is the favorite girl in the village. She loves her father so much that she is willing to do anything which will help him regain his sight. The story and movie can kind of drag on but the refflections to my culture are good enough...kind of like miyazaki with enough refelctions to Japan. I will just keep it short...the animation is very good (Like Ghibli style) The action is decent along with the direction and i think by the end this is one i could watch again one day. I close by saying we have made something decent. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
