This review is from: The Immortal Yi Soon Shin Korean TV drama Dvd boxset with English subtitle (Korean version All NTSC) (DVD)

This now rare series is an outstanding production, one of the best I've ever seen. It has depth in personal and cultural dynamics. This 12-disk set is the "short series", a 33 episode condensation of the 104 episode full series. I am confident that anyone who sees this historical drama will quickly become addicted to it.

It's definitley not the whole, full drawn out original version but a condense version of the original drama.
But decided it keep it since my dad loves this drama and impossible to come by.
All and all 'OK'.

Have to admit it definitely is a well made korean historical drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Historical Drama, September 13, 2010

This review is from: The Immortal Yi Soon Shin Korean TV drama Dvd boxset with English subtitle (Korean version All NTSC) (DVD)

Truly a riveting drama of the greatest warrior and tactician naval commander of Chosun (Korea) especially noted for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598). Plenty of action amid the drama of having to overcome the narrow minded beliefs and traditions of those jealous of his achievements and his love for the people and his country. Beautifully filmed and well acted, that you can't help but intimately connect with the characters and situations.
