The Immortal Lee Soon-Shin (KBS1, 2004/5)

불멸의 이순신 (The Immortal Lee Soon-Shin) - KBS

PD: Lee Sung-Joo, Han Joon-Seo
WRITER: Yoon Young-Soo, Park Young-Sook, Jang Gi-Chang
CAST: Kim Myung-Min, Choi Jae-Sung, Kim Gyu-Cheol, Lee Jae-Ryong

Another KBS Drama, started in 2004 but ending this year was on the mouth of Korean TV viewers for most of 2005: telling the story of National Hero Lee Soon-Shin, one of the greatest naval commanders of all time, the Historical Drama 불멸의 이순신 (The Immortal Lee Soon-Shin) managed to tell the story of one of the most beloved figures in Korean history, allowing its figure to slowly grow across its 100+ Episodes, showing all his struggles, his brilliant strategy, but also the painful life he had to live. With top notch sets and art direction, the 35 Billion Won project might have forced KBS to stop broadcasting Historical Dramas for a while, but it surely hit the jackpot when it came to showing all its budget on the screen. Naval fights rarely seen on Korean TV, great dialogue, a cast of veterans including Kim Gyu-Cheol, Jo Min-Gi, Lee Jae-Ryong and more made this one of the most impressive Historical Drama in the last few years, although it cannot probably reach the heights of 허준 (Hur Joon), 상도 (Sang Do) or 홍국영 (Hong Guk-Young), not to mention earlier classics. But the real star of the show is Kim Myung-Min, a capable and underrated young star, who showed his talent both in films and TV Dramas, but had been undeservedly misused until his eye-opening role in 꽃보다 아름다워 (More Beautiful Than Flowers). Short of Eom Tae-Woong in 'Rebirth', his is the strongest performance of the year.

AVAILABILITY: Out on Highlight DVD this February (Part 1) and March (Part 2)
