Epic Drama, Funny, Witty, A little Bit of Everything.

I've enjoyed this drama so much even though you
lose some things in translation. I've watched this in three
different translations. I've watched a few times since
I liked it so much. The music is great, the lead actor
has a beautiful mesmerizing voice, you hear it in the Ost.
I loved the opening song, I don't need the translation to
be swept away by the sweet melancholy tone.
There are beautiful dance scenes and epic war scenes.

I laughed when I saw the King ruling as a joke, he is the
puppet. His momma got the pants. Making this drama
even funnier. His nephew the "Prince" is "Living La Vida
Loca" with his crazy friends. He is a gorgeous mamma's
boy that gets away with all his pranks and mischief.
He is basically a happy go lucky kid in a man's body.
Until one day....

I loved it.
Come and see.

If you Live by the Sword...

The actors were fantastic and the action scenes with
Jang Hyuk really good. I have enjoyed their talent in
other shows.
I just watched Jang Hyuk in The Swordsman 2020 and that
guy has awesome moves. His character in Tomb of the River
(2021) has a project in mind and nothing will stop him,
nothing will get in hisway. He is like a steamroller. He
doesn't seem to have strong affections for anybody. He
is like a machine.
Please remember this is my humble opinion I share with
you. We do this because we very much enjoy these shows
and we love to share our views with others.

Action Hero

From beginning to end Action packed. I totally enjoyed this movie.
I was searching Jang Hyuk's profile and found this movie.
He done so many genres and he is excellent here too.
The translation was kinda cut, so I don't know if I lost some
info on the way.
Happy I got to see Jang Hyuk in action. I've been
following him for years. He played a cool guy, almost expressionless,
saw him smile at the end of the film. Funny, he always
was drinking out of a cup. Reminded me of Robert Downy Jr.
always snacking on set.
I enjoyed this movie.

WHAT HAPPENED??

Yes I watched the whole thing but "what happened", I don't get it.
After all the twists and turns in those first 6 episodes wow you think it'll
get better. They were very intense and found interesting this perspective,
So I view the next 6 episodes with great anticipation AND I fell
on my face, Did I not get it. Did I not see something? Or was something
lost because of the translation of the drama?
I like the fact that they didn't wind up a couple thing.
Lee Jin Woo was too impulsive a couple of times.
The passion for the job of the main characters was envious. It was an
intense drama. The funny parts (comic relief) played a mayor role, so I wouldn't
have a stroke. :) I watched this drama to see what role Mr. Lee Seo Jin
would portray. I was really pleased with his performance. He is a great
actor.

The Good Wife?

Well what really surprised me was the role Nana played. I was watching this show looking to see what
Yoo Ji Tae was up to. I couldn't figure him out. For me Nana stole the show. The storyline with all the info leaks going everywhere from prosecution to lawyers and vice-versa. Everybody had a hidden agenda. I found it wanting yet I had to view till the end to see what happened. Sometimes I don't know if in the process of translation you lose some of the meaning of the story. The courtroom layout here was lame. it lacked drama. Some of the characters were comical, ridiculous and annoying. Somebody was always backstabbing someone. Choi Byung Mo did an excellent judge. The lawyers drove him crazy.

Who Done It??

Compelling story, that will take you on a roller coaster ride.
What is the truth?
What is a lie?
What is at stake?
Who is who?
Is this a thriller?
It will take you on the ride of your life.
This is an extremely well done movie.
The storyline is interesting.
I found this movie so interesting that I searched for the movie Contratiempo 2016 or The Invisible Guest a WB production from Spain, since Confession is a remake of this film, I heard it in the comments section. I also viewed it and it's also an amazing production. Now I have two interesting films which I plan to re-watch. Let me tell you Confession 2022 is Not an exact copy of The Invisible Guest 2016. I really enjoyed these movies.
Confession 2022: https://viewasian.co/watch/confession-2022/watching.html?ep=1

ENJOY!!!

I DON'T ENJOY WAR MOVIES, I SELDOM DO SO I
TOOK A CRACK AT THIS ONE. I WANTED TO SEE W
WHAT WOULD CHRISTIAN BALE BRING TO THIS
MOVIE. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED IT WAS A GREAT
PERFORMANCE.
THE MOVIE IS BASED ON A HISTORICAL EVENT. THINGS

I WISH WE COULD LEARN AND NOT REPEAT HISTORY
TIME AFTER TIME.
THE CHARACTERS ARE DOWN TO EARTH IN THEIR FEARS
AND LOVE. AWESOME ACTORS. YOU CAN RELATE TO THEM,

TO THEM.
I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE.
ENJOY!

FOUND THIS FILM INTERESTING I ENJOY MYSTERY MOVIES, DRAMAS AND BOOKS.
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE WHEN I SAW PARTS OF NOVELS I READ COMING
TO LIFE.
THE CHARACTERS HAVE STRONG DETERMINATION, VERY STRONG.
THE CHARACTERS GREAT PERFORMANCE MAKES YOU LOVE OR HATE THEM
WITH A VEHEMENCE. WE HAVE MULTIPLE HEROES. YOU CAN RELATE TO THEM, FEEL THEIR PAIN, ANGUISH AND JOY.
THE STORY IS KINDA INTENSE SO YOU HAVE OTHER WHO DONE IT IN EACH EPISODE.
A BODY CAN POP UP ANYWHERE. SOME INTERTWINE EACH OTHER.
THE STORY IS NOT PREDICTABLE...TWISTS AND TURNS.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH A LITTLE GUY, GREAT ACTOR.

Following my beloved Hu Ge (aka Kenny Lin aka Lin Geng Xin aka Kenny). BTW he has at least two profiles here on MDL. The other I found as Hu Ge. I watched this film to see what role he portrayed. He goes through different phases in his life making it interesting as you get to understand this character. I really am going to watch it again as I finish this review. Sometimes I may think "Oh it's a shallow movie, look at the title", you imagine it's about this and that . To my pleasant surprise there is more than meets the eye. I totally enjoyed it as the characters with their own dilemmas come together and weave an intricate story.
Please give it a try.

THIS DRAMA BESIDES THE MALE LEAD PULLING
ME IN, IT WAS SO NOT USED TO WHAT I'VE SEEN BEFORE
IN OTHER DRAMAS..
HE IS SUCH A GREAT ACTOR EXCELS IN ALL HE DOES.
HE NEVER LETS ME DOWN.
AT THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT I'M NOT GOING TO SEE
THIS THROUGH. I WAS SUFFERING TOO MUCH. BUT IT WAS
ALL WORTHWHILE.

THE CAST WAS SUPERB SO WELL DONE.
HAD GREAT CHEMISTRY.

YOU CAN RELATE WITH THEIR FEELINGS.
YOU FEEL FOR THEM AND THEIR DAILY EXPERIENCES.

KUDOS TO THE WONDERFUL TEAM.

I CAN TELL YOU IT'S A MUST WATCH. IT LEFT ME WITH A WARM
HEART AND A BIG SMILE. FANTASTIC ENDING.

THE COMBINATION OF THE LEADS
WAS GREAT, I LOVE THESE TWO.

THE FIRST EVER DRAMA I SAW
ON PUBLIC TELEVISION WAS
KWON SANG WOO IN "STAIRWAY
TO HEAVEN" HIS TALENT IN THAT
DRAMA BLEW ME AWAY.

LATER A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT
THEM BEING AVAILABLE AND THUS
STARTED MY DRAMA DREAM.

THIS MOVIE IS REALLY GREAT.
A FUNNY PART AND A VERY SERIOUS
PART. THEY BLEND SO WELL AS SANG WOO
GETS KICKED AROUND ALL THE TIME.
SEE A DIFFERENT CHARACTER ROLE
AND ENJOYED IT VERY VERY MUCH.

LIKE THE TWO HEADS WORKING
TOGETHER.

IF YOU LIKE A SERIOUS WHO DONE IT
MIXED WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF
LAUGHS...COME WATCH YOU WON'T
REGRET IT.
