A nice adaptation of the true story of Jin Chae-seon. Perhaps not quite a 10/10, few if any are in honesty, but far from a 1, so why not give it 10 to balance the ridiculously low scores.
An enjoyable film from the perspective of anyone that can appreciate Pansori and the history of what Koreans had to endure under the class disparities of Confucianism of the Joseon era. That Pansori developed as a music for the people rather than the Yangban, which it satirised, it was nice to see this woven subtlety into the narrative.
Like a lot of Korean film it was beautifully shot. And of course heart strings are tugged. Maybe romanticised and stylised, but people want that I guess if you're going to go for a mainstream audience.
My only gripe was the addition of orchestral music that I feel clashes with the essence of the Pansori... but that's a minor thing overall.
And was that an Ahn Yi Ho cameo in the first scene with Jin Chae-seon as a child? His voice is unmistakable!
