Imjin War film?

[MexSamurai]

Hello samurai!!!

Anyone know Imjin war films (dvd)(Japanese invasions of Korea 1592-1598)?

I have Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-shin dvds -(South Korean television -2004). So, have other more films(dvd) of Imjin war?

Arigato.

There is a 1986 version of Yi Soon Shin but impossible to find
a 2003 KBS series KIM GAE TONG (aka KINGS WOMAN )is pretty decent ,it has the famed red coat general ,and deals with the two princes Kwanghae and imhae .the former would become King and the later was captured by the Japanese and later killed when his bother took the throne from Sunjo (14th Yi Dynasty King .

There is a major drama coming this year about the Kiaseng that seduced a Samurai General than killed herself taking him with her .

The current KBS Drama THE GREAT KING SEJONG ,depicts the 15th century battles against the Wako (Pirates )and the eventual conquest of Tsushima by the Korean's in retaliation for the Wako raids ,this one has just stated .

NONGAE
is the new Imjin War Drama ,It runs 50 episodes but is not slated to air until the fall .
NONGAE of course is legendary in Korean History as a national heroine ,because being just a Kiaseng she still gave her life to destroy a Samurai General unlike the Joseon court who found it more prudent to run .

Many Korean Imjin War Drama's (notice we never ever see Japanese Drama's on this subject ,not to mention the murder of Queen Min in 1895 ,though i dont think Min was killed by Ninja's as the Korean dramatist's seem to think )depict the Samurai being driven out of Japan by brave Korean freedom fighters but the reality is the Samurai were recalled after Hideyoshi's death .
So this alleged conquest of Tsushima is we all know wishful thinking on the Korean's part but when you have a 100 plus episode drama on a king where nothing really happened in his life aside from writing the Korean alphabet ,the Network's have to get creative to keep people watching it .How i wish NHK took the same point of view re Atsuhime .

As for Nongae of course they will give her a boyfriend and he will die tragically and we will get some fictional and real freedom fighters ,It will be a bloodbath and stocks of kleenex will sore .
Actually i am looking forward to Nongae .

Re the Mongol Invasions careful what you wish for in 2009/10 MBC have a 200 episode drama on the Koryo Kingdoms role in the Invasions and their subjugation by the Mongol's .

There was also Shindon a 50 episode drama in 2005 about the mad monk that controlled the Koryo court during the Mongol rule .
Shindon was deemed to arty and violent for prime time and it also had (drumroll.....................)Nudity .
There is a rather sexy sworddance on youtube somewhere from this series that id love to see but cant be found .

NHK Taiga drama "Ougon no hibi" had Imjin war scenes.
However it is difficult for Japanese TV stations to make Imjin war movie because of interference by Korea.
