Hansan Rising Dragon Review: A Pure Spectacle Of A Film

July 29, 2022

Needless to say, I’m not an expert on 16th-century Korean War history, but if “Hansan: Rising Dragon” is anything close to what happened back in those days then perhaps I should be. In 2014, a film called “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” was released to be the first of a long trilogy by writer and director … More Hansan Rising Dragon Review: A Pure Spectacle Of A Film
