EVENING, Wednesday, 2nd November, 2017,
I went to the cinema to watch this film.

IT started at 22:40 and ended at 01:00(+1 day).

THE film started with a scene in which Sang Hun and an old man walks along in snowy river.
A heavy snow falls on them.
This old man is guiding Sang Hun to The Fortress.
The old man says he is only left with a little girl, and he will guide the Qing for a small amount of food. Sang Hun thanks him for guiding. And kills him.

FROM this scene, an audience would notice the characteristics of Kim Sang Hun.
Principle, Loyalty, and Faithfulness to Joseon Dynasty.

MYUNG Gil is equally faithful to Joseon.
But, his principle is different from that of Sang Hun, which makes they argue all along during the entire time of movie. And it is absolutely fascinating.

I COULD feel their affection and love for their country and people, and they are the only people who actually cares in the movie.

IT feels that something is missing in the movie, but I couldn't find what it is.
Acting of Lee Byung Hun and Kim Yoon Suk make this film worth watching.
And supporting actors and actresses.
Except this there is not something special about this movie.

CONCLUSION.
Lee Byung Hun is a great actor.
His acting is always mesmerizing.
