I didn't know anything about this being a true story, as some reviewers have said here, before watching this. As a narrative story I found this a little all over the place. I was never sure who was who and whose side they were all on, although I think that may be lost in translation and more of a 'me' thing.
The acting of the king was simply ridiculous, crazed one minute and crying the next.
The sets, the cinematography and the costumes are wonderful and although the story may be difficult at times, the film is always a delight to look at.
References to this being the Korean Caligula on the right track. This is not a film for the feint of heart.
