Finished the Yi Sun-sin trilogy #kmovie(s), all over 2 hours long. Very good overall, The Admiral: Roaring Currents was the best of the three (classic, best script), then I liked Hansan and then Noryang. The battles were the main focus and intense throughout. Admiral Yi Sun-sin was a brilliant strategist.

@jcurries The Admiral: Roaring Currents is definitely a classic, covering the Battle of Myeongryang. The prequel Hansan: Rising Dragon came out in 2022, the Battle of Hansando. The sequel Noryang: Deadly Sea was released 2023. I'm watching the trilogy in historical order, so the battle at Noryang Strait is next. Just based on the first two movies, this one should be good as well.

Epic historical #kMovie The Admiral: Roaring Currents (2014), the first released in the Yi Sun-sin war trilogy (at the time, the most watched and highest-grossing domestic film of all time in South Korea, currently No. 2 still). Watched the prequel Hansan: Rising Dragon (2022) yesterday.

Turtle Ships!

Ich habe einen Hochschulabschluss in Geschichte und es hat trotzdem bis heute Vormittag gedauert, bis mein Gehirn realisiert hat, dass der Tokugawa Ieyasu, der in der Filmreihe zu #YiSunsin den bösen Oberwidersacher mimt, DER Tokugawa Ieyasu ist, mit dem wir in #Shogun beim Kampf um die Herrschaft in Japan mitfiebern. Also der, der in Sekigahara gewonnen und dann die Edo-Zeit inklusiver kompletter Isolation Japans eingeläutet hat, welche wiederum den Hintergrund für #BlueEyeSamurai bildet. Uff.

The things that have happened since 2017 mean the #next section ( food, music, film, TV) is quite out of date... But I have found the film #TheAdmiralRoaringCurrents about #YiSunSin is available to rent on YouTube #NavalHero #Korea
