A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Warriors of the Dawn is
You command a ragged band of royal guards when the king falls in battle and Seoul’s gates swing open. Then you must choose between fighting for a prince you’ve never met or securing a retreat that lets the city burn. Chung Yoon-chul lets the siege smoke speak for the casualties left behind.
