A superb movie about a true life historical figure. The story isn't a very familiar one to most so it makes a fascinating story. Completely engrossing. The attempted escape from Japan was thrilling and nail biting. The return to Korea was heartbreaking. Felt the whole grief of the nation in that scene.
Son Ye Jin is a superb actress by any standard. She was so moving. Supporting cast are well chosen too especially the actress playing her mother.
I found this more moving than The Last Emperor. A must watch.
