So, been wanting to watch this movie for a while now, and will do so once dinner is cooked.  But while dinner cooks, there shall be a picspam, to show you why I wanna see it.

History+swords+romance+action+politics+assassins

I also get a very strong Damo vibe from it, though that's likely because it's in the same time period, with the same actress.























The Duelist, Amazing new film from...

Curse you and your constant murder of my budget :) But must watch this...

About 25 minutes left. It's pretty clearly a response to what was apparently(and justifiably) the extreme popularity of Damo(same actress, same sidekick-i think- similar plotline) but is quite fun...Namsoon is so vastly different from Chae-Ohk that it still surprises me a bit. She and Sad Eyes are quite cute.

Incidentally, one of my chief thoughts is that no guy with that hair has any right being that hot. Also? He's in "1% of Anything" a korean dorama that I've already ordered, even though it isn't hewre yet. So, SCORE!

SWORDS!!!!!!!!!

Looks really pretty and I hope you enjoyed it!!!

But why the pretty hero's haircut looks like it could be coming from "The Ring"?? Ok - I am an old lady and very picky about the haircuts and apologise :)

I think the thing about the hair is that it's a style we associate with...you know...girls...

I really enjoyed Duelist, but I think it was mostly on a visual level. Plot-wise, I think it was kind of lacking for me, because there just seemed to be very little dialogue. It is one gorgeous film, though--the fight scenes are amazing and Kang Dong Won is terribly pretty.

Yeah, pretty much. Very pretty, rather fun, good fights. And yes, he's far prettier than he has any right to be with that hair...
