Choi Su Jong played the general. Choi would be unemployed if not for Korean period dramas. It’s his bread and butter. I enjoy his overacting. Saying that korean historical dramas are “highly fictionalized” is being generous. Those shows are typically more concerned with pandering to nationalism than depicting history. But they have TREMENDOUS camp value, which is why I will always watch them. Canned sound effects, soap opera style monologues (with the subtle pause effect too), fight scenes straight out of a power ranger show, and Korean generals who can cut down 20 Japanese enemies. The Chinese / Japanese villains are so outlandishly evil that they could sub as batman nemesis. If the boundaries of logic suffocate you, these shows will provide immediate relief.

The story was taken from various historical books, like the "Samguk Sagi" (a very thick and difficult set of books to read!). But as far as I can tell, there has been no book-version of the movie. :cry: I'm sorry Rustam, but there is no book version.
