Besides those over-detailed flashback + sub-plotlines, a rather fair piece on the whole. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Director Lee Jae-Kyoo's Korean epic boasts a significantly talented cast and a great deal of historical sociopolitical commentary that, while not entirely accurate, speaks volumes about 18th century Korean culture. The direction and cinematography are phenomenal and the production design top notch. It's a bit melodramatic at times and the story gets muddled in needless details, but theres not too much to dislike here. I'd definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoys war films. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing. Predictable and flat. My expectations were too high because Hyun Bin is the main character. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I highly recommend this movie. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Assassins, poison, and political intrigue litter this period piece thriller. A young king is trying to fit in with his new kingdom, but he has many enemies who would like to see him die. The character development for the assassins is a little on the excessive side, but the final battle is so cinematic it hurts. I also enjoyed the Grand Empress, how she was physically beautiful on the outside but duplicitous on the inside. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
