And isn't this the Jurchen invasions?

It's both. It looks like Yi Soon Shin's time when he was stationed on the northern frontier. Kinda looks low budget.

OK. I watched the trailer. The North and South Korean soldiers who were fighting over a nuclear bomb were sent to the time when Yi Sun-shin failed to pass the national exam and became a dead end young man. The (North and South) Korean soldiers who have admired admiral Yi Sun-shin in the history was shocked at the lazy life of the future great admiral. They told him "you will be a great man in the future!" but he did not believe it. So, the soldiers are united to train YSS's body and mind like a modern-day soldier... etc. Hmm.... I think "The Immortal YSS" is far better than the movie at least in action scenes. (Ep. 74 was great!  ) |

Oops, I forgot to say where the nuclear bomb is. Unfortunately, it seems to fall into the Jurchen's hand. This movie is not about Imjin War, but about young Yi Sun-shin. |

Interesting. But is Chun-su in it? (just kidding)  |

This movie is going to be released in South Korea from July 15th, 2005. Of course not. ;D But, I guess, the young YSS of the movie seems to be a character like Chun-su in the earlier episodes of IYSS. In the movie trailer, YSS was put behind bars with the modern soldiers on a theft charge.  |

For a fantasy fictional work, I liked the premise but after reading the rest of this thread it's starting to sound a little cheesy. Why do they need to make YSS a coward? Anyone see the 1978? movie, "The Final Countdown" starring Kurt Douglas? It's about a modern aircraft carrier and crew that goes through a storm at sea and is transported back in time before the pearl harbor attack in 1941. They had a chance to rewrite history by intercepting the Japanese but they had to go back to their time. I was geared to seeing an all-out battle between 1940's aircraft and our modern fighter planes. But just watchig the Japanese pilot's astonished reaction upon seeing those f-14's? was classic. Now that's the standard I go by for time-travel-through-history-what-if-senario-flicks"  The point is the writers didn't have to change the facts of history itself to put it into a fictional story. Changing YSS's character to fit the fiction is bad bad bad. |

I think I change my mind about wanting to see this movie putting cheesiness aside. The trailer looks pretty awesome |

Seems more like science fiction than anything. I'll bet it's going to be funny.
