Then one day, Mong Ryong comes to Maewol to find Chunhyang. The three people share a complicated fate as this story has a different result compared to the original Chunhyang Story.
Reviews
Wonderful character development!
Sadly Over-hyped
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
