The 2023 South Korean historical war epic Noryang: Deadly Sea
Features a massive 100-minute naval battle sequence.
Depicts the legendary Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s final sacrifice.
Here’s a solid critical review of the film itself:
The movie takes place in 1598, during the Imjin War, when the Japanese navy, led by Konishi Yukinaga, launches a massive invasion of the Korean Peninsula. The Korean navy, under the command of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, must join forces with a group of Chinese pirates to defend their homeland.
The film depicts the historic Battle of Noryang (1598), the final naval battle of the Imjin War. It focuses on Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s desperate attempt to completely destroy the retreating Japanese fleet and put an end to the seven-year war, all while navigating political interference from the Ming Dynasty Chinese forces and internal factionalism.
