While it's not Yi Sun Shin's greatest naval victory, it is nevertheless a significant event in Korean history. The sea battle is beautifully depicted, though conflating details from his other naval battles, it still gets some key facts right, and about the famous turtle ships and Korean and Japanese fighting tactics. More importantly, you get a different look than the western navies that relied on sail and wind.
The movie feels a bit rushed at the start to set the stage. When you have a movie about a naval battle, I can understand that you can't spend a lot time on the buildup of events leading up to it, but it could be confusing for non-Koreans who did not grow up learning about it in school. There are of course also lots of manufactured drama, but that's to be expected--this is not a historical documentary.
This is the prequel to "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" (2014), which depicts Yi Sun Shin's most famous victory at Myeongryang Strait some five years after the events in this film.

Beautiful reenactment of one of Admiral Yi's naval campaigns
Full review of the movie
The film was excellent and professional in terms of direction And
In terms of filming and special effects, it is done in such a way that one cannot tell the difference between reality and design
Considering that the Admiral's story has been made in other series and movies and it is almost a repeated script, nevertheless, the making of the movie was very interesting and exciting.
Also, the movie was designed very well in terms of the beginning of the story and the end of the story, and it was in such a way that the person who watched the movie was not left without answers about anything, that is, it was not confusing.
Breathtaking film
I have been waiting for this movie for 8 years and I have to say I got what I wanted. The introduction of the movie was done well especially the opening battle. It showed naval warfare from a perspective different from that of the Europeans. The costumes and the sets of the movie was able to show what it would truly have looked like at that time. I find this movie unique in that there are simply not that many movies out there that show the samurai from this perspective which is that of an antagonist, and instead most of the movies seem to show the samurai as these incredibly heroic beings. The climax was simply incredible with the turtle ships destroying the invading ships. It gave a sense of excitement and a sense of anxiety.
The movie had a nice soundtrack that went well with movie overall. I'd rate it a 9/10.
Pumped and saddened for the last movie of this trilogy which will mark the great generals death...

Pretty good bio pic, I loved the scene where they came up with the lyrics for MMM Bop... 5 Stars!
Get used to the face on the movie poster thumbnail..... that's his only face.
Just how many times are they gonna make a movie about Yi Sun Sin?
I took Korean Language and Culture when I was stationed in Seoul. This is a real/true story. I usually don't enjoy subtitle movies, but this looks badassed! Looking forward to it. Very cool.
@dana_m why would he be in this film? pretty stupid comment
Ghost of Tsushima rip off lol
Wish they hired real Japanese actors who could speak Japanese. And those ships are flying at 50 mph...rowing!
Come on, Where is Bruce willis in this movie?
This movie made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Its a comedy for me.
The movie is dubbed in Korean mainly and some Japanese in areas where there are Japanese/Japanese-esque actors.
Good movie it was interesting.
Are they speaking English?
Why can,t I watch it online ?
Korean nationalism against Japanese imperialism... However, what we see now is Korean imperialism in Asia as the ROK tries to assert their influence over Asian culture.
Now THAT was worth watching! Thanks Freeman! :)
That was REALLY good! Very impressed by the film overall and the FX were superb! :) 8 out of 10 easily!
All the ships, powered by rowing oarsmen seem to move at 60 mph. Typcal of the current South Korean films aimed at inceasing "nationalism", dubious historical accuracy as one would expect. The Japaneselines spoken by the Korean actors is really really bad. Otherwise visually enjoyable and lots of action and fun to watch.
The similar movies suggestions crack me up.
english please
seems good.
