First of all, it was a beautiful movie. It was an exciting, adventurous, action-packed movie from beginning to end. I think the striking title was friendship. It started as friendship, but continued with backstabbing, misunderstandings, betrayal and fighting. Finally, they settled accounts. They also resolved the misunderstanding. But it was too late.
What is essential here is the strict rules of the past. Freedom being in the hands of others and the pain this caused to humanity were revealed. It turned into a struggle for rights for people classified as noble, common and slave class. The kingdom is also in a separate place. No one thinks about their people. That's why the kingdom collapses. The people rebel. Freedoms are gained.
Of course, we couldn't see the gain, but maybe a sequel will be made.
The story was well thought out, but some things were skipped, the easy way was preferred, and simplified in order to fit into a movie. Also, there are very bloody scenes, the excessive exposure of organ severings is annoying for the audience. I don't know if it will be encouraging, but it may seem disgusting and oppressive to some people. I think it should be less and should be glossed over more simply, it shouldn't be shown too much. Other than that, the acting was good. I liked it. Especially Cha Seung Won, who played the king, was the most prominent in my opinion. He played it very well. I can even say that he added a role to his role. I liked it. Kang Don Won, Park Jeong Min, Kim Shin Rok, Jin Seon Kyu, Jun Sung Ill are the ones I like. I recommend it to those who like this kind of action. Watch it. It's very good.
