If you loved Blades of Blood, try Krieg der Königreiche
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Lee Joon-ik. If that's the register that drew you to Blades of Blood, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Krieg der Königreiche is
A Korean period pastiche where history’s losers regroup for a rematch. A Silla-Tang alliance invades Goguryeo eight years after its own pyrrhic victory. The siege arrives draped in farce, though the jokes land about as flat as Goguryeo’s defenses.
