The commonly used praise now, "Only people who haven't seen it, no people who have only seen it once", was used to describe this movie when it first appeared!
Recently, the movie-themed online program "Cine Mountain", hosted by comedian Song Enyi and director Zhang Hengjun, talked about a classic movie that caused a lot of discussion. Released in 2005, the film broke the record of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", set the highest box office record of 12.3 million viewers in South Korea at that time, and also made Lee Joon-ki popular throughout Asia, but the production process and the response when it was first released were very surprising, and the movie was "The King's Man".
Jang Heng-joon revealed that director Lee Jun-yek was very excited after watching the drama "Er" on his recommendation, and immediately adapted it into a film script and looked for investment, but all production companies refused, because at that time, except for "Scandal: A Matter of Mutual Pleasure Between Men and Women in North Korea" starring Bae Yong-joon, no costume film had succeeded. In the end, it was after his friend Kang Youshuo (the director of South Korea's first 10-million-dollar film "Seio Island") lent him the entire property of his company of 2.3 billion won, and then began to receive investment.
But after the film was made, it was still not smooth sailing, Zhang Hengjun recalled: "The atmosphere of the test screening was full of confusion, and everyone was thinking: 'Wang actually kissed the drama?'" Usually everyone applauds at the end of the test screening, but there wasn't even a single one on that day."
Zhang Hengjun wanted to sneak away quietly through the back door, but he did not expect that the director was also crouching at the back door smoking a cigarette, and was hit by him. Zhang Hengjun comforted the director that this film will definitely sell well, and the director was very disappointed: "Why don't you applaud anything?" Perhaps no one expected at the time that the film would exceed 10 million viewers in the future, and until now, 16 years after its release, it is still the 16th most watched local film in the history of Korean cinema.

Many Korean netizens said: "That was the first time I went to the cinema to watch the same film several times", "Really popular", "It's my life movie", "I am here and you are there", "Not only is it beautiful but also has a long afterglow." Take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, just to relive the feelings of that year!
