Wow! I will break this down for those that have not seen this movie yet....Are you looking for a... ultimate love triangle: check intense love story: check explicit love scenes: check historical setting with more blood and gore than usual: check For those not willing to bear with the last two....I suggest its not for you, but for those that can overlook the bottom two and are looking for something different but intense, definitely one to watch or you may like all of the above. You won't really know until you watch it. :) Acting- Superb acting from some of the best actors out of korea! This alone got me curious and I definitely have no regrets.
