A commoner becoming the king is a theme

A commoner becoming the king is a theme that's all too familiar to us. The story was told in and this film takes the idea from that and takes it to the 16th-century Joseon Dynasty. The king is the tragic historic figure of Kwanghae. The commoner who becomes the King realizes just what it takes to be a good king. Although the premise may feel like it’s based on real events in history, but the film is a work of fiction. LEE Byung-hun plays both the king and the commoner and it's his first role in a historical drama since his debut. His queen, who loves her king despite realizing that he's a fake, is played by HAN Hyo-joo who showed great potential in . The movie is directed by CHOO Chang-min whose other works include and and the writer HWANG Jo-yeon co-wrote .

A magnificent film. An achievement in filmmaking

This was an absolutely stunning film. It is amazing to me that a director with relatively minimal experience can produce a masterpiece like this film. The story, the dialogue, acting, the costumes, the set decorations, the locations. Everything was absolutely pitch perfect. If only Hollywood could make films this good. I understand why it won so many awards. An absolutely stunning achievement.
