This was an intriguing historical movie inspired by true events. It's terrible to be a boy king overthrown by a power hungry tyrant. Play excellently by Yoo Ji Tae. The movie has a really good cast overall.
Ji Hoon emotes so well and is good as the exiled King Dan Jong. He wants to die b/c he couldn't protect the people around him. to a small remote mountain village to die. The Town Chief played to great comic effect by Yoo Hai Jin, saves the young King from an attemped suicide. Later the King faces a tiger and helps to kill it with a bow and arrow finally prompting the KIng to want to fight for his throne.
Very emotional story and I wanted the rebels to win in the end but history has to prevail and the sadness I felt at the end of the movie broke me into pieces. The King is remembered by history and his title was restored in 1698.
