Righteous Fighting Against the Unrighteous

I feel fortunate that I was able to watch it in theaters today. Initially, I watched it because of Ok Taec Yeon, but ultimately, I fell in love with it because of the visual effects, storytelling, acting, and music. When it comes out on DVD, I'll definitely buy it. I enjoy historical fiction, historical drama, and historical films, so if you're not a fan of them, I wouldn't recommend watching the film.

This film specifically focuses on Japan attacking Korea via the ocean. So it encompasses what happens when another country tries to fight back by using ships and what happens the war goes to land. The visual effects between the main actors (specifically the generals and admirals and the spies) are amazing going back and forth between the war in the ocean and the war on land. The director did an amazing job showcasing the tension between the two warring opponents. On top of that, the actors were fabulous, which added to the tension of the story. The music was incorporated beautifully into the film. The sounds of war, drums, horns, and ships crashing into each other and into rocks were just as amazing and it made me feel like I was there.

Overall, I think this film is a great addition to Director Kim's trilogy.

Worth to Watch

I didn't expect much when I started watching it. As I continued to watch every episode, it was such an emotional journey to watch. I am glad to have seen it. It was worth every second of every minute of every episode from start to finish. As someone who lost a loved one, it was a challenge to watch but it helped me process my grief and be able to move on and let go of the pain I had in my heart.

I wish and hope that there will be a second season. Should there be a second season, I can't imagine anyone else replacing the cast. I do hope that they will keep most, if not, all of the original cast members. It was beautifully well-written. I loved the character development of all characters.
