gved Aug 14 2021 6:14 am Yeo Jin-Goo plays great, just as I liked the play of all the characters. The story is also great, despite not being full of twists and turns; very human, the development of characters is an example of universal, eternal values The landscape is beautiful, the pictorial world also strengthens what is said! I don't understand why the rating is so low !!!

Nona Manis Dec 18 2020 12:08 pm I watched in 2020...It is a great and patriotic movie..although I am not korean, I can feel the hardship of that era and how cruel the Japanese are..

Praise the unsung heroes of those days

Overall a very good movie...

Guiltypleasure Mar 29 2019 10:17 am Big respect for the voluntary / unnamed soldiers

Guiltypleasure Mar 29 2019 9:47 am I like crown prince Gwanghae.

Vincenza R Palms Feb 22 2019 11:58 am Love his acting, his demeanor. Can't believe that he is so young!!!! I am a new subscriber as I did not know about this site. I am 69 years old and have become enamored of Asian dramas, culture, everything that goes along with it. Am a huge fan of BTS and there are times in the Crowned Clown that he reminds me of Kim Taehyung. Keep up the great acting work. Have a great, Blessed life. I Purple you.
