In korea it's obviously a flop i am not denying that. I don't about the movie culture in korea but in most countries having a lot of following means EVERYTHING. Ardent fans will support you even if your movie is not good.

Lol why were people shocked. Forget korea even famous Hollywood actresses will get very few lead roles when they are 50+ in age.

I don't think it will be on OTT so soon. I saw some posts few days back saying that it was pre sold to 170 countries. I think the release date is around 29th aug. Also i am pretty sure its international collections will be more than domestic. Even if we assume on avg around 10k people watch it per country then it comes 1.7 million. Also countries like phillipines and Indonesia have huge jcw following

I don't think breakeven will be a big issue, they will get revenue from foreign countries and most probably will be sold to ott platforms also. And jcw has huge following in other asian countries but yeah i am still surprised . I guess it is really not a commercial film and wonderland even got very bad reviews maybe koreans liked it , idk. The director should be banned if he can't give a hit with top class actors like jdy,jcw and ljy

So is the box office collection average/good? Or is it bad? Does anyone know

I don't want to sound like a hater .. I haven't seen the movie yet but in the press conferences it was brought up many times that the director took 4 or 5 yrs to complete the story and now everyone is saying the acting is great but story is not that good 🤣 I don't understand that. Maybe writing a good story and direction is that much difficult. I always feel kind of bad when talented people like jcw and jdy have to shine despite the story/writing and not because of it

I guess the first set of reviews are out...i read some. Almost everyone is praising the actors' performances and overall aesthetics- background music etc. The story is so-so acc to some, but generally positive reviews

After watching the new trailer i am pretty sure jcw will act like a hook of the story, provide background and initiate the drama, after that the rest of the cast has to carry it forward. I think they chose jong seo because of the action scenes primarily

Wow this comment section is so heated🤒. For me I'll definitely start watching it, jcw is in a historical drama after so many years. But if story becomes tedious, I'll drop it later. Also people who watch a drama because of the story and not the actors are a very small proportion. If you like both the story and actors then that's very lucky nowadays

Watch the worst of evil if you haven't

Song joong ki was also there saw a post😲, this was next level even award shows dont see all these people together often. Also shk and sjk don't often attend the same event

No i don't trust mdl ratings i was a bit shocked thats all. Its good to know he has some famous works

Queen woo and revolver are both highly anticipated, really hope the writing and direction doesn't disappoint. The mdl page of the director of revolver is very dissapointing (literally all his work is 6 stars💀)

True

Yeah i am a jcw fan and so are you but i think he'll definitely be dead in 1 or 2 episodes 💀. The teaser directly says "king is dead" maybe mistranslation idk. Well as many have pointed out perhaps he'll come in flashbacks

Empress Ki was soo good..so emotional and so well written. Every main character had ambitions and flaws

For me The trailer/teaser was definitely carried by ji chang wook. Now if they kill him off in 1 or 2 episodes and the other actors can't maintain the quality or the story becomes tedious it will be bad. Hopefully it won't be like that. Also I don't know why they didn't have some good dialogues/scenes from jong seo in the trailer it seemed like only jcw is the main guy and rest are supporting members.Anyways best of luck to the team!

Is this normal in korea? I don't know. Literally some of the biggest stars visited. And not 1 or 2 so many 😲

Saw a post that blackpink Jennie, KSH, bae suzy and many others came for the vip screening 😲

Jcw and jeon do yeon looked so elegant together, hope the story is good.. looking forward to the movie
