I have finally watched Hansan.
I found it kinda underwhelming.
Maybe it’s because I’m too used to watching these kinds of movies so it’s become more difficult to impress, but regardless, the first half of the film prior to the actual battle was a slog to sit through. The film also had the audacity to repeat certain gimmicks and scenarios in the last film.
Not to mention I don’t feel the new actor playing Yi Soon Shin has much of a presence.

Not to mention I don’t feel the new actor playing Yi Soon Shin has much of a presence. His other movie(not a historical) that was in theater 2 months before YSS came out was much better movie in my opinion. Personally recommend this movie. It's directed by Park Chan-Wook, one of the top directors in Korean film industry.

That's too bad.
Frankly I think it's easier to tell these battle stories in context of a series--especially a story like an Imjin War battle that has so much context and pre-story to it. It gives the battle so much more meaning and impact than just a one-off presentation.
Anyway, you guys reminded me that I still have to sit down and watch Parasite. And for that matter I never finished The Throne. Gotta do that.

Also recommend the movie that I posted above(Decision to Leave) if you are going to watch Parasite. The directors of Parasite and Decision to Leave are probably the two best directors in the Korean film industry. I'm sure Korean film fanatics out there all heard of their names. If you're watching "The Throne", I also recommend watching "The Fortress" as well. The Fortress is on Netflix, so it's easy to find the movie.
