Have you still not watched The King's Warden (왕과 사는 남자)?
This movie already reached more than 16 million viewers, just like The Admiral: Roaring Currents (명량) and Extreme Job (극한직업). If you have not seen it yet, here is why you should run to theatres and watch.
In the film, Eom Heungdo, the village head of Gwangcheongol, discovers that the neighboring village Norugol is doing well because a nobleman was sent into exile. Realizing this, he devises a plan to attract an exiled nobleman to his own village. He visits the mayor and persuades the officials that Cheongnyeongpo is the best place for exile, leading it to be officially designated as such. At the same time, Lee Hongwi, who became king when he was very young, loses his throne and is sent to Cheongnyeongpo, where he starts to plant the seeds of rebellion.
Shows the young king's loneliness, fear and the sad mood of that time, the movie may be a bit heavy, but it is easy to understand and keeps you focused until the end, encaptivating viewers. If you want to see not only a famous but a meaningful, emotional, and historical Korean movie this should definitely be on your list. If you don't believe me, believe the 16 million people. If you have not watched it yet, this is the perfect time to watch it!
