A fantastic spectacle
I found the movie to be a compelling take on Yi Sun Shin's final battle and one that was incredibly meaningful and full of historical quotes and moments. As someone who is an enthuisiast on the Imijin War, I found myself suprised by how well they demonstrated the complexity of the situation on screen.
The action was spectacular in spectacle and the director really showed the whole battle in a clear fashion that was also true to the historical narrative.
The final part where Yi Sun Shin is shot and his son carries on the beat of the drum actually happened and was overlaid with a beautiful shot overlooking the dawn.
