The story of Yi Sun-shin's last naval battle during the Japanese invasions of Korea that happened in the Noryang Strait. (Synopsis)

Noryang: Deadly Sea caught my eye when I was looking for something to watch on my flight to Seoul. I didn't realise until writing this review that it is actually the third film in a trilogy, but not having seen the first two didn't stop me from following and enjoying this one. It was rather long, but for the most part it didn't drag, and the sea battles were epic and visually stunning. The ending was pretty sad even though I knew (from general historical knowledge) what was coming. Based on this one, I would be interested in watching the earlier two movies in the future. I am giving this one 4 stars.
