Viewing Notes

Couldn’t miss the latest South Korean film screening at my nearby AMC Showplace. Didn’t realize this was a Lee Byung-hun vehicle until after the movie started. He looks rather different in both roles, as the King and the impersonator. But, man, does he carry this film on his back. Based on an old tale about a comedian that steps in to become a king for two weeks, this is quite entertaining. And it’s 100% Lee Byung-hun.
