James Mudge easternKicks.com Bolstered by some handsome production values as well as its powerhouse lead performances, the film is another fine, if over-long period drama from Lee Joon-ik Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 1, 2020 Full Review Lauren Terry Willamette Week The story is shocking enough without the excess scenes of melodramatic rage from every character. Rated: C- Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Diva Velez TheDivaReview.com Based on one of Korea's most infamous incidents, The Throne is tense, enthralling and beautifully acted. I wish all history lessons were as engaging as this. Rated: 5/5 Dec 13, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An historical account, this movie is a truly emotive depiction of an insecure human destroying another in spite of their familial relationship. Koreans do tragedy like nobody else. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Why was Yoo Ah In the only one acting here and the bunch of popular kdrama bimbo cameos are just being statues and not making an impression for fucks sake?
