Although I reckon it is not just about revenge. There are a lot of topics, like love and honor to name a few others. Unfortunately they get a bit muddled as a different reviewer has pointed out too by all the flashbacks, which may further the story a bit, but also seem to stop the track of the current developments to say the least.
Having said all that, Korean period pieces are generally at least good in my book. But this never reaches the heights of Musa or Bichunmoo - though I do have to rewatch the latter some day! I have not read the comics/graphic novel this is based on, so I can't talk about differences and similarities. I can say that it is very well made when it comes to action and stunt scenes.
The ending is a bit weird to say the least, but I love that certain things are not spoken out - rather acted out mostly in facial gestures and small glimpses of understanding ... not the best of the bunch, but a solid effort nonetheless for sure.
