Following up The
Admiral: Roaring Currents, Hansan: Rising Dragon is a prequel and
the second in a planned trilogy about the naval battles led by Joseon Admiral Yi
Sun-Shin (Park Hae-il). Given the massive box office success of the first South
Korean historical epic, Hansan wisely does not try to reinvent the first
film’s structure, but instead just recreates another famous military battle at
sea. While there is action and spectacle to satisfy the audiences, Hansan
also has a meticulous eye for historical accuracy in every aspect of the storytelling,
similar to Ron Maxwell’s American Civil War films, Gettysburg and Gods
and Generals.
