Softening up is vilifying? When Myungsunghwanghu was killed, she had her breasts sliced off and Japanese soldiers raped her dead body. In this movie all the Japanese samurais did were stab her six times, which I admit is gory, but is less gruesome than the truth. Ask any Korean adult that remembers history class and they will likely repeat this. The reason the portrayal was softened up was to make it viewable for a somewhat larger audience.
The movie has great acting, although I must admit there are some English typos and grammatical errors. (causion, disappear). The only real cheesy sounding actor is Cha Tae Hyun. The president is portrayed perfectly, and several of the turn-arounds (the President actually ordered himself to be incapacitated to see who was Chin-il-pa ish - in favor of the Japanese).
I love this movie because the director seems to bring a totally possible (theoretically) situation to life. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
