“It can’t end like this.” Why did Yi Sun-sin beat the drum until he died? (‘Noryang: Deadly Sea’)

The movie 'Noryang: Deadly Sea', which will mark the finale of the Yi Sun-shin trilogy project this winter, will release an uncut clip of the main film, 'For True Victory', to repay the enthusiastic response from the audience.

To celebrate the fact that the movie 'Noryang: Deadly Sea' (hereinafter referred to as 'Noryang'), which is responsible for the box office success in theaters in the new year, has achieved box office records day after day, an uncensored clip of a famous scene from the movie, 'For True Victory', has been released. The video released this time captures attention by showing a scene that captures Admiral Yi Sun-sin's decision to bring about complete surrender.

Admiral Song Hee-rip, a confidant of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, asks Admiral Yi Sun-sin with concern as to why he is doing this, as he personally raises drumsticks to boost the morale of the soldiers. To this, Admiral Yi Sun-sin replied, “If we let them go like this, greater resentment will accumulate in the future,” and beat the drum of advance without hesitation. In particular, the general's words, "It must never end like this. We cannot properly end this war by sending the enemies alive like this. We must chase them even to the end of the ten islands and force them to surrender completely." It shows as is.

Like this, the deep resonance that penetrates the screen even in a scene of just over a minute shows the cinematic experience and emotion that 'Noryang' provides, and clearly shows that the full support of Korean audiences is a favorable review with good reason.

'Noryang' is a war action masterpiece 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 invasions of Korea. It was released last month and is currently being screened to rave reviews.
