The final edition of the series, a tightly woven journey of 10 years! Everything is finally resolved!At the time of planning 'Roaring Currents', there were many opinions in the industry that the 'Yi Sun-sin Trilogy Project' seemed practically impossible. Opinions were divided between feasibility and impracticability about translating one of the greatest battles in world naval warfare history to the screen with Yi Sun-sin, the leading hero representing the Republic of Korea, as the main character. However, director Kim Han-min completed the groundbreaking project of one series and three casts for the first time in Korean history, starting with 'Roaring Currents', 'Hansan: Appearance of the Dragon', and 'Noryang: Sea of Death'. Director Kim Han-min said, “Looking back, we can say that the previous two works probably existed for ‘Noryang: Sea of Death,’” raising expectations for the final version of the series.

'Noryang: Sea of Death' is a war action depicting Admiral Yi Sun-sin's final battle to completely annihilate the Japanese army trying to retreat from Joseon, seven years after the outbreak of the Japanese invasion of Korea. It will be released on the 20th.
