Saw this in the Korea goes Pop book, on how it was the 2nd highest grossing film in South Korean movie history. When it first premiered on the big screen 5 years ago, wasn't really interested in it. But after reading how good it was, decided to go buy a DVD and watched it. Can certainly see why people would wanna watch it, the lush sceneries, the moving story, and the power and politics of Korean palace life. The ending is a tad weird; then again, after watching "the Host", "Blades of Blood", "The Housemaid" and other Korean films, maybe this isn't so bad an ending...
