NAMHANSANSEONG: 17th Century War And Politics Collide In The Official Teaser Trailer

I'm almost certain director Hwang Dong-Hyuk's new period drama, Namhansangseon, will be re-titled with a more international appeal by its September theatrical release. Until then, that's the name of the film as it so reads on author Kim Hoon's 2007 Hakgojae novel publication, set amid the warring 17th century Joseon era.

Actor Park Hae-Il leads the cast as a King now under siege by Qing forces and forced into hiding in his moutain fortress where his two retainers, played bg Lee Byung-Hun and Kim Yun-Seok, both butt heads in their philosophies and ideals on how to deal with the Qing soliders; One wants to negotiate while the other wishes to fight head on. It's pretty much an epic deadlock and the latest teaser trailer illustrates that in sweeping fashion.
