Myeongryang

This movie’s background is Japanese invasion of Korea in 1597. Yi Sun-Shin who was naval hero was dispatched to stop Japanese’s invasion. However, Yi Sun-Shin’s turtle-shaped ships were burnt. Moreover he had soldiers who were lose their fighting spirit, people who were full of fear, and only 12 ships while Japanese had 330 ships. Even though he was in the worst condition, he defeated Japanese through his leadership, resources and trust from people.

Yi Sun-shin is one of the most popular people in Korea. Most Korean loves him because he fought with Japanese on the water and he won so many water wars. He protected Joseon Dynasty. Choi Min-sik who was the actor of Yi Sun-shin acted very well. He showed Yi Sun-shin’s feeling in that time. The best scene is when Yi Sun-shin should lay down his life to defeat the Japanese naval forces and protected people and territory from them, people who watched with nervous pulled up the ship and saved Yi Sun-shin and the others. This movie shows Yi Sun-shin’s achievement. I like this movie because Yi Sun-shin was very nice in this movie.
