Hard to know how to rate this. It was interesting and cool as a window into a different time and culture (17th to 19th century Korea). It kind of has the feel of Robin Hood, although it turns out the main character just wants to recreate the unjust society he was born into, except with himself now in power. Way less subversive than it seemed set up to be.
