captures your attention through the whole thing. Byung-hun Lee is fantastic in his dual roles. the story is quite good, the pacing is good and the tension builds nicely up to a satisfying ending.

I was completely taken in, and I suspect most viewers will be too, with or without some kind of knowledge of Korean royal history. Director Choo Chong-min understands that history is not only a list of wars and elections, but also a story of people, and if there's truth in the way these people are portrayed, the accuracy of the facts is almost irrelevant.
