Answers to FAQ Q1) "Who's who?" A: Japanese: Triangular Metal Cap or Fancy Gundam horn helmet + Breastplate armor Koreans: Pointy helmet with loppy ear + Dark Brigandine, and commanders wearing scale armor Chinese: Round helmet or small-winged helmet for commanders with blue and brown brigandine for soldiers, and commanders wearing scale armors Q2-1) "Why are ships self-propelling? Where is sails? Does the ships run by engines?" A: Oars. The ships are galley types, and sails were stored into the ship during the battle. We can't see the oars because they are vertically underneath the ship Q2-2) "Oar can't be that fast, you dumbf---" A: For the entertainment purpose, director of the movie edited the speed by doubling it during the ship movement scene to add the dynamics in the movies after the filming. It's not documentary after all. Q3) "What's the title?" A: Noryang: Deadly Sea Q4) "Where can I see this?" A: Now that, I cannot answer. Go check your Netflix, or other OTT.

This film is dedicated to one of the most famous admirals in history, admiral Yi, who fended off 2 Japanese invasions practically on his own. He invented the concept of the turtle ship. His most famous battle is where he was outnumbered between 10:1 to 20:1 and came out victorious without a single ship lost.
Now, let's look at historical facts.The total strength of the Japanese army at that time was 600,000 soldiers, and only a portion of them were sent to the small country of Korea. Approximately 150,000 Japanese troops captured Seoul in three weeks, and most of the cities, including Pyongyang, in two months, even though they were across the ocean, and captured the Korean prince. The pitiful king of China's vassal state ran away from the Japanese army in tears and sought help from his suzerain, his great father, the Ming Dynasty. This war was a battle between Japan, which had an emperor, and China, which had an emperor, and the small countries merely provided a stage for the great powers to dance；＠「
Admiral yi life is like something out of an epic fiction novel. Start with a humble beginning, struggle, rise up, fall from grace, rise up again then a demise worthy of legend. What a man
Cause it's actually fiction. At the battle of Noryang, Korean navy was only 30 ship strong, and Ming provided the bulwark of most of the ships used in the battle. Not to mention the land force of 100k Ming provided to attack the invading Japanese from the north. Turtle ships were good but not that good to win against the Japanese when they were outnumbered 10-20 to 1.
@@HEEHEEBOII at the battle of myeongnyang he show what he's capable of. Heavily outnumbered, no turtleship, no allies, incorporating surrounding and terrain feature as part of the strategy, no ship lost. This man makes a genius like Horatio Nelson pale in comparison.
The Imjin War (known as the Imjin Waeran in Korean) was the largest war of its time on the global stage. Although many world histories tend to downplay its significance due to a Western-centric perspective, this war had profound effects: it paved the way for the rise of the Qing Dynasty in China, the establishment of the Edo Shogunate in Japan, and the increasing influence of European East India Companies.

This was the largest naval battle the world had ever seen at the time involving many hundreds of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese warships. The world would not see such a huge naval operation again for many hundreds of years until the D Day Landing of the WW2.
In terms of sailors, the Holy League had just recently won the Battle of Lepanto in 1572 which had ~490 ships in total and over 60 000 sailors on each side. (Both sides of the conflict agree on this), making it a larger battle. This was the last major engagement of galleys before the age of sail took over. In terms of the number of hulls, this was larger by far, since the Japanese had some 500 ships by themselves. So it depends on how you view it.

No shit. Would you expect a Korean production to make a movie in english? no? Then why would you expect something made by English speakers to be in Korean?
It's understandable that American shows would use English...but it's so jarring to see "Germans" and "Japanese" speak gibberish foreign language and then switch right back to English or speak in an outrageous accent. Seeing an Irish actor try to speak German in "Man in the High Castle" as Adolf Eichmann was too painful. I'd prefer if they just stuck to english like in "Death of Stalin", or commit fully to the language like "Shogun".

Although the director of this movie certainly made a lot of efforts researching the armor and equipment of the Korean and Japanese sides, I feel that the Ming side has been neglected. Of course the Ming armor and equipment shown in this movie aren't totally inaccurate, but compared to what has been shown for the Korean and Japanese sides, they do seem to be somewhat lackluster. Here're the main issues regarding Ming equipment and naval tactics that I'm able to observe in this clip: 1. The complete lack of spears. Ming records and military treatises valued spears highly, considering them not only suitable against cavalry on land but also useful in naval engagements, and period depictions of Ming soldiers often showed them carrying long spears and some other polearms like glaives and halberds. However in this movie they are all missing (except general Deng Zilong using a glaive). 2. Ming naval tactics, just like the Japanese, preferred close-quarter combat and boarding rather than staying away and firing cannons. Hence the Ming navy shouldn't be afraid of closing in, unlike what is shown here. 3. Three-barrel pole guns were cavalry and siege defense weapons used most commonly by frontier troops of Northern China, whereas admiral Chen Lin and his marines were mostly from Southern China, hence they shouldn't use those type of guns. Nothing from Ming records indicated that three-barrel pole guns were used in naval battles. On the other hand, it's logical to depict Southern Chinese troops using at least some arquebuses, due to their trade and wars with the Portuguese and the Wokou. 4. The complete lack of rocket arrows and other incendiary weapons. The Ming navy used rocket arrows and various types incendiary grenades and bombs such as the fire bucket and the fire brick, as well as fire lances that spewed out flame and noxious smoke. All those were used for naval warfare, yet none has been shown in the movie. 5. The complete lack of javelins and crossbows. Ming troops especially the ones from Southern China also used javelins and crossbows in naval warfare, according to Ming military manual WuBeiZhi they even had javelins that were specifically designed to puncture through ship deck, barbed javelins for anti-personnel purposes, and javelins attached with gunpowder tubes that could be used in a similar way as a primitive grenade. 6. Too many brigandine armor. While it's true that Ming armies particularly those stationed in the north used a lot of brigandine armors, Ming marines used other types of armor as well such as paper armors, leather armors, and sometimes even rattan armor. 7. According to Ming records, in the battle of Noryang general Deng Zilong charged in the front and was the first to engage with the Japanese but soon got his ship surrounded, then Yi Sunshin joined in an effort to save Deng Zilong, and finally Chen Lin joined trying to save both. The sequence presented here doesn't seem to correspond with the record.
They made the Ming forces look like side characters and NPCs, the Chinese were known to be good with swords so I was wondering why they didn't engage with sword and shield combo, most of the forces were from southern China as well and I haven't spotted anyone using guns, I do admit that the Chinese underestimated the Japanese at sea resulting in a somewhat poor performance although their performance in the land wars was truly great.
This comment is underrated. Thank you for providing the Ming perspective. It is somewhat understandable that in a Korean film on Yi Sun Sin, the Chinese would be portrayed less favourably
This is a Korean movie, so of course the role of the Korean army must be highlighted. However, describing the Ming army as weak and the role of the Joseon army surpassing that of the Ming army is contrary to historical facts.
@@snowlee-ml7rr I agree. Unfortunately, in such nationalist films masquerading as historical ones, historical facts are meant to be distorted to fit the narrative rather than vice versa
@@sjeoendiowksbsjsel in this part of video is normal, but if you watched the full movie,need to say that in chinese part sometimes need reed the subtitles, but it`s enough for a KR movie
Props to the actors for speaking different languages(Altough,Not in a good accent) Despite most of them were probably koreans.Western movies would have all of them speaking a perfect english no matter where they came from....
Because the audience is Western, English speakers. Similar to Marvel movies being dubbed overseas and so that their audience can understand them. So this take is actually ridiculous to even mention.
As a Korean that can speak Korean and also some Japanese, their accents were spot on. I can not speak Chinese but they sound pretty good for Korean actors.
Yi Sun-sin is a great general who can be counted among the hundreds and thousands of great generals of Korea. He defeated numerous Japanese forces in 23 small and large-scale battles because at that time, Japan attacked Korea and killed many people.
The Battle of Noryang was the last big naval battle during the Japanese invasions of Korea, which happened between 1592 and 1598. It was a crucial moment in history because it basically ended Japan’s attempt to invade Korea and China.
It's a movie with a lot of fiction for fun. There are some differences from the reality. In the actual Noryang naval battle, the Turtle Ship did not participate in the battle. Also, I read the comments, and many people misunderstand. It is true that the Japanese military advanced deep into Joseon, but they only occupied the main roads and the cities on the roads. (This causes the Japanese military to be hit hard when the righteous army of Joseon was active in the rear.) Also, the Joseon army was powerless on land, and the Ming army fought in the army It is said that most of them were in charge, but he is not true. In the Battle of Yongin, a battle that took place at the beginning of the Imjin War, the Joseon army had nearly 70,000 troops. This means that Joseon had excellent administrative power and the army had the capacity to compete with Japan in terms of scale.
The Japanese army thought that if they could quickly capture the Joseon king and the his palace, like 'Checkmate' in chess game, they could quickly occupy all of Joseon. In feudalistic Japan, the Daimyo would usually commit 'seppuku' suicide(OFC, not all of them) without running away because daimyos were responsible for the protection of the castle and their people in kind of implicit exchange for the authority and power bestowed upon him. Whereas Koreans, in Joseon, the king ran away, abandoning his people, so it was an absurd act from the Japanese perspective. However, even before Joseon era, Koreans had already experienced attacks from like the Mongols who used checkmate strategies with rapid mobility while fighting numerous wars with northern peoples. Representative examples include the Goryeo-Khitan Wars(高麗-契丹戰爭, 993-1019)
When Yi Sun-shin won the battle and the people liked Yi Sun-shin more than Seonjo, King Seonjo sent Yi Sun-shin to prison and put the incompetent General Won-kyun into the battle, but General Won-kyun, blind to victory, sank 200 of Joseon's ships in the battle. At the time, 200 ships were huge. And Japan saw its soldiers improve due to the Warring States era. This has been translated into Korean
If the Korean army had the fighting power you mentioned, would the King of Korea have fled to the Chinese border? After being defeated by the Japanese army, the entire country lost confidence in resistance and tried its best to seek help from the Ming Dynasty emperor.
@@snowlee-ml7rr Well, he didn't use the term "fighting power" in the first place. He was talking purely about the mobilizable force and the administrative power that made it possible. Of course, since they were conscripted peasants who had never experienced combat, it would have been difficult to expect fighting power. However, your claim that the entire country lost confidence in resistance and tried its best to seek help from the Ming Dynasty emperor is completely wrong. The request for help from the Ming Dynasty, despite opposition from even his subjects, was due to the stubbornness of King Seonjo, not the people, and as the war progressed, even people in some regions who had initially helped the Japanese army later turned against the Japanese army. Volunteer armies rose up in various places, and guerrilla warfare, which was unfamiliar to Japan, which had never experienced a war abroad, became stronger, and as a result, it became more disadvantageous for the Japanese army.
According to the records, unfortunately, most of the ships that Yi Sun-sin sank were Japanese transport ships, only a few dozen in number. And that was only as a result of surprise attacks. After that, the Japanese navy cooperated with the land forces, so Yi Sun-sin was unable to launch a surprise attack and retreated. After peace was made between Ming and Japan, Yi Sun-sin attacked the Japanese troops as they were leaving, even though peace had already been made. However, he was easily defeated. None of the main Japanese officers were harmed, but many officers from Ming and Korea were killed. This can be seen from the records of Ming and Japan. There are not many records from Korea, but it is written in Korean records as well.
Yi always avoided close combat. I don't know why this movie portrays that. He also suffer little to no losses when he was in charge. Not one ship of his sunk. He did die due a stray bullet hitting him. He is the greatest Admiral in History. Never lost a battle under his command. This is some historical data I found on this Battle Japanese Strength 300 ships- 500 ships (Korean sources) Korean and Ming Ships 148 ships (Joseon: 85 warships, Ming: 63 warships) Japanese Casualties and losses 200 ships sunk 100 ships captured 500 soldiers beheaded 100+ soldiers captured 13,000 soldiers killed Korean and Ming Casualties and losses 500 soldiers and sailors
That's another battle, IIRC. It's featured in ''Rapid Currents'' The one where Yi faced 133 Japanese warships + 200 support vessels for a grand total of 333 with only *13* ships of his own right?
@@ImBijin true, koreans are peasants, even today. super backward for an economically developed country. i just feel sad that chinese history and culture has been erased by the chinese communist party.
@@ImBijin Please speak English. However, Japan did not have sense of presence in Asia before the Meiji Restoration. A divided island nation ruled by the shogunate. The whole archipelago was full of poverty and ignorance. Agriculture is also limited in scale and plagued by natural disasters. Korea is at least a unified and complete Confucian feudal state. If it weren't for Perry and his fleet that brought civilization to Japan. The archipelago is also likely to become the India of East Asia in the late 19th century.🤔🤔🤔
We have had two Shogun titles which were excellent. We had Three Kingdoms which was excrement. Let's hope that they return to form before making a Total War: East Asia or however you'd call it.
Since this Imjin War (Japanese invasion of Korea) was the largest land and naval battle ever fought in East Asia during the Medieval times, they should call it the Imjin War.
For anyone wondering "Is my hearing bad, or Ming characters' chinese dialogues sound a bit...... off?", no, your hearing is on point. Apparently, every lines from the Ming dynasty characters in this movie is in fact written in Early Modern Chinese (근고한어, 近古漢語) - which is what Chinese language was, according to what I've searched, about from year 1100 to 1900. Battle of Noryang occured in year 1598, so their Chinese pronunciation is actually historically correct.
Maybe, but there is still a heavy Korean accent mixed in there. I cannot understand the majority of Chinese lines even after listening to them multiple times.
@@JM-hl9id simplified Chinese is a written form of Chinese, the standard spoken form is called Mandarin. I think you meant that. But still, it is comparable, like Middle English to Modern English
@@JohnnyZX81 no... no english speaker today can actually comprehend middle english and the accents are completely off. Thanks for the correction though, I am still dumb
Personally, I think the battle scene in the previous movie, Hansan, was more impactful, but I also enjoy watching the battle scene in Noryang, which is larger in scale.
The battle was much messier than Hansan historically as well. It was an all out slugging match compared to the beautifully arranged tactics at Hansan. Accounts suggest that Noryang was quite brutal.
@@skyereave9454 Night Battles generally are, since due to limited light, soldiers and sailors (in this case), struggle with seeing their lines and their enemies, often confusing or crashing with one another and often relay on fire signal or wars horns and voices of their commanders to know where to go and what to do
Wow. I knew the Ming navy took part in the final naval battle against Japanese forces in the Imjin War, and I think I saw some clips of Ming soldiers fighting Japanese soldiers in land battles somewhere else, but this is the first time I saw scenes that actually show the Ming forces' naval battle against Japanese forces in this war.
and ofcause，ming Navy was been told very weak and uesless in this movie,It is very different from the history of my side,but yes,I could understand,they need a hero that more capable than anyone ,but without ming help,japanese already took all the korea mainland,there won't have a naval battle😅but yea,still undetstand
After the Battle of Noryang, the sea off Noryang was completely covered with the bodies of dead Japanese soldiers, and the entire sea was red with the blood of Japanese soldiers for 10 days. The defeat in this battle plunged Japan into a fierce civil war and led to the fall of the Toyotomi regime. For reference, Noryang means angry waves and is also the name of a small port on the southern coast of Korea.
"The defeat in this battle plunged Japan into a fierce civil war and led to the fall of the Toyotomi regime" lol no. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was already dead when this battle happened, in fact that was the reason why the Japanese were going back home as he was the main reason the Imjin War took place to begin with and now that he was dead there was no reason to keep fighting. Also, there was no "civil war" after he died. The battle of Sekigahara happened two years after, and after it Japan literally entered in a new era of peace that lasted two whole centuries.
total strength of the Japanese army at that time was over 500,000, and 150,000 were sent to Korea. Don't lose sight of the fact that a third of the total military force captured Seoul in three weeks and most of the cities, including Pyongyang, in two months. In this war, Korea was only a supporting player, and only Japan and China fought mainly. Korea was weak and had entrusted all authority to China, its suzerain, so it was China that negotiated with Japan, and Korea was refused participation in the negotiations by China, its suzerain.

It's supposed that the Ming Dynasty's support of Korea during the Imjin War was one of the contributing factors to their eventual downfall and the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which would rule over China until 1912.
Ming wasn't supporting the Koreans, Japan's goal was to invade Ming through Korea, so Korea was defending China by defending themselves with the help of a Chinese expeditionary force. This war occurred during Wan-Li Emperor era, which is considered to be a major turning point of Ming's power, supporting the war may have had a small contribution to its eventual downfall a few decades down the road but what actually brought Ming to its knees were multiple grassroots revolts, Manchu just swooped in if anything.
@@lipan2757 Ming Dynasty’s support for the Imjin War significantly contributed to its later defeat by the Qing. The financial and military burden of the war weakened Ming’s ability to defend itself against the Manchu forces. Here are the key factors with specific numbers: 1. Military Support: Ming sent over 100,000 troops to aid Korea during the Imjin War. This large-scale deployment stretched the Ming military, as it was one of the largest overseas military campaigns in Ming history. 2. Financial Burden: The war cost the Ming treasury around 2.6 million taels of silver. This immense expenditure covered troop maintenance, weapons, food supplies, and logistics. It severely weakened Ming’s ability to fund future defenses. 3. Weakened Border Defense: Due to the focus on Korea, Ming’s northern border defenses were undermined. This allowed the rising Jurchen (later Qing) forces to grow stronger. In 1619, the Ming army suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Sarhu, where they lost around 60,000 soldiers to the Jurchen. The combination of these factors-military depletion, financial strain, and weakened defenses-left the Ming vulnerable, ultimately leading to their defeat by the Qing in 1644.
The Battle of Noryang, which took place in the South Sea of Korea on December 16, 1598, was a naval battle between the combined fleets of Korea and China versus Japan. This naval battle was the final battle of the 7-year lasting Imjin War between Korea and Japan. In this naval battle, the Japanese Navy suffered a crushing defeat, and at least 30,000 Japanese soldiers died that day. This battle is the battle in which the largest number of Japanese soldiers died in a single day among all battles fought by the Japanese army from the past to World War II.
To all international movie fans and who are interested in Korea&Japan history : This movie is like the movie "Kingdom of Heaven(2005)" in a way It is a good movie, tried decent amount of effort to reference "real history", and it is fun to watch all the actions and explosions Still, it is a bit far from the historical facts in several ways, so please use this movie as a beginning step to get interested in history of north-east asia, but be aware of not all the scenes are 100% historically correct. Same as "Kingdom of Heaven(2005)" Thank you
Yi Sun-sin is definitely the only reason why Korea didn't capitulate to the Toyotomi regime during the Imjin War. Great admiral. If he wasn't there, Korea would probably be a Japanese colony 300 years earlier than they did historically.
Clearly not the only reason, Ming China was literally the reason why Korea was able to win the land war, you can’t win a war with naval battles alone if you lose all the land.
Koreans did not have much importance in the war between Ming and Japan, Koreans lost all the cities, compressed the capital, the Korean king was forced to flee to Ming borders to ask for help, Korean navy remained only dozens of ships, Yi Sun-sin destroyed 31 ships in total, Japanese still have 669 ships
@alexhu5491... You been brainwashed by fake Chinese history. Ming could not lead the war because majority of land force was korean. Ming also could not commit to Korean war because a other northeast asian, Kim Dynasty (Jin/Qing ) was preparing to invade Ming. Ming was obligated to support Korea which has sent Korean soldiers to help Ming against the Kim Dynasty. Japanese land forces were large and Mongers no match against Japanese alone. To weaken Japanese land force, Korean navy blocked the japanese an y from sending resupply and reinforcements. With Korean navy controlling the sea route, Japanese land force were running out of food and weapons leading to their defeat. Korean navy controlled the sea/ocean against the Japanese navy which had victories against Ming navy. Admiral Yi won all his navy battles against the massively larger Japanese navy. Yi sealed the land victory. After the war, Ming was conquered and destroyed by Kim Dynasty and Korea as spared by Kim Dynasty which was founded by Korea Silla Kim Family.
That split in two was beautiful. I find it a mistake from the ming fleet to turn around engage the way they did. Their ships are with better guns, take advantage of the slip and encircle them. Then again. I can't find any reference of the ming fleet being involved with Japan at least at sea during the conflict
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Imjin War as Japan invaded Korea, then the Joseon Kingdom, was a huge international war in East Asia that even fought against the then Ming China. Naturally, Ming's navy helped the Joseon Navy fight against Japan's navy on Korea's southern coast, but their fighting power was not very helpful. Rather, there are repeated references that they are a hindrance to the Joseon Navy. In the Noryang Battle, which is the background of this video, the Ming Navy Admiral Chén Lien was surrounded and in danger by the Japanese navy, and Yi Sun-shin's Joseon Navy rescued him. Chén Lén is said to have deeply respected Yi Sun-shin and called him an "old man" and urged his horse to never get ahead of Yi Sun-shin's horse. Ahead of the Noryang battle, the Ming government ordered him not to participate in the battle and to leave the Japanese navy unattended, but he, who respected Yi Sun-shin deeply, eventually helped Yi Sun-shin and joined the battle together. The Joseon Navy rescued him, who was in crisis, and he came to Yi Sun-shin to thank him after the battle, but when he learned that Yi Sun-shin was killed, he wailed with great sadness.
In fact the film is not wrong, the Ming dynasty sent a fleet to Noryang, but only 6 ships were truly war ships, another 57 were lighter ships, both types were armed with many cannons and firearms in general, the Fuchuan (professional warships) carried 20 cannons in a very wide variety, including cannons of Portuguese design, and up to 60 fire lances (huochong) for personal use, so the Chinese ships were not frank, but their leadership was not efficient for war naval. source: Science and Civilization in China, Volume 5, page 408. The Imjin War, page 552-553
When I was at university I was told that the best author on the war is called Stephen Turnbull, unfortunately I never looked for his books, but I suggest you do so to learn more about the topic, it's a shame that the Imjin war is not studied, when it occurred it was simply the biggest conflict of its time with more than half a million combatants, there are even Portuguese and Spanish authors who were in Asia and talk about it as a war so big that the world has never seen anything like it.
like all 16th century countries, most of peasant or commoners did not left their family record. more like they could not due to price of writing tools and maintaining fee for books though, some nobilities, or claimers they are inheriting nobilities have family record going back to 16th century, and some of them have ancestors served under admiral Yi's fleet as captain of a warship or commander of smaller fleet
Practically almost all Korean men, especially from the south west of the Korean Peninsula, were called upon to be foot soldiers and sailors in this War. Not a single Korean man of fighting age could escape a military duty during that war. Even farmers and fishermen joined voluntarily because the alternative was annihilation of the country.

In the Noryang Battle, which is the background of this video, the Ming Navy Admiral Chén Lien was surrounded and in danger by the Japanese navy, and Yi Sun-shin's Joseon Navy rescued him. It is said that Chén Lien highly respected Yi Sun-shin and called him "Old Man" and urged him to never let his horse go ahead of him. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the remaining Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula abandoned everything and rushed to withdraw to the Japanese islands, and the Battle of Noryang broke out as a pursuit of the Japanese army's fleet, where Yi Sun-shin, who was unable to safely return the Japanese soldiers who committed hundreds of thousands of massacres on the Korean Peninsula, withdrew. Ahead of the Battle of Noryang, the Ming government ordered him not to participate in the battle and to leave the Japanese navy unattended. He, who respected Yi Sun-shin deeply, eventually helped Yi Sun-shin and joined the battle together. The Joseon Navy rescued him, who was in crisis, and he came to visit Yi Sun-shin to thank him after the battle was over, but when he learned that Yi Sun-shin had died, he wailed with great sadness.
@donkita1692 the japanese failed to remove Yi by navy or land army, therefore they did it through diplomacy. The plan worked because Choseon government is corrupted.
For anyone not familiar with this Imjin War, just know that this war was so big and devastating that it caused Japan to close down its borders into a total isolation for 300 years and Ming Dynasty of China collapsed after this war. It was the Greatest War of East Asia during the middle ages. During this war, the Japanese overpowered the Korean army on land, but Koreans annihilated Japanese at sea and that is how the war ended. During this war, the invincible Korean admiral Lee introduced Turtle Ships into the navy, the first ever ironclad warships in the world, 400 years earlier than European ironclad. The Turtle Ships were like tanks of the sea and smashed through everything in their path. Admiral Lee devised many famous navy formations for the first time in world history by deploying crane formations as well as cantabrian circle using warships (just like a Mongol horse archer tactic on land). He also lured the entire Japanese fleet into a trap by luring them deep into this narrow channel called Noryang where the current was so strong that Japanese fleet were stuck and became sitting ducks. This is how Japan lost the war. Admiral Lee Soon Shin is still honoured and commemorated by Koreans as the national hero to this day and many high ranking navy officers around the world look up to him as a role model.
What you should know is that Japan has guns, but there are no cannons, and Korea does not have guns, but there are cannons. And Korea's front line was a semi-iron warship. Japan's high-speed neckline was simply torn apart, and Japan was defeated.
@@Real_British Japan learned gun-related skills through trade with the Netherlands, but there were no cannons-related skills. This was because Japan was very technologically backward. On the other hand, Korea developed its own cannon technology in 12th century, and developed the world's first missile. However, Korea had no raw materials for gunpowder, and although it was mostly imported from China, it was controlled, and could hardly import gunpowder, which hindered the development of gun guns. There is a big reason why gun technology was not introduced to Korea because it was not developed in China. Korea traditionally has a normal army and weak navy. Most of its troops are in the north and strong, as it has to bear the aftershocks of the mounted people, a precursor to the Qing Dynasty in the north. Japan is originally an island country, so the navy is strong. It is easy to see why Japan seems to have a strong army and Korea seems to have a strong navy in the Korea-Japan war. It is because of the differences in technology. The Korean army had knives, the navy had iron armor and cannons. The Japanese army had guns, and the navy had a wooden ship, and no cannons.
This battle leaves the most stain for the Chinese Naval history. Worst of all, it costs the life of Admiral Yi, who is one of the greatest admirals in the world who had managed to salvage the situation. An embarrassment that the Chinese are still unable to recover till to date.
I am Korean and I would love to see a console game developed based on this movie. I know that Japan also has a console game based on the Mongol invasion. I hope Korea also develops a console game based on the Imjin War.
A bit of topic. Relations between ancient Japan and China have a long history, and in certain periods the exchange of political, religious and cultural practices between the two was intense. China, the much older state and the more developed, passed on to Japan (sometimes indirectly via Korea) a long list of ideas including rice cultivation, Buddhism, centralised government models, civil service examinations, clothing, art, literature, music, eating habits, how to use chopsticks, how to cultivate silk for their clothing, how to govern themselves, how to create bonzai, calligraphy, poetry and even how to read and write Chinese characters (Hanzi 汉字which they call Kanji). Trade relations greatly outlasted cultural and diplomatic ties, with Japan beginning to develop its own unique cultural path from the 9th century CE onwards.
Many Joseon generals died and Japanese daimyo-class samurai did not die well, well, there seems to be a difference in perspective between countries at the time. In Japan, daimyo was a monarch, and when daimyo, a monarch, died, most of the samurai under his command became Ronin as a general who failed to protect the lord, and while Joseon, which was a central government bureaucracy, had one king and the chief ministers were a servant and a general, no matter how high they were, so the Japanese military tried to save the monarch, Daimyo, and Joseon and Ming did not have the lives of major generals as precious as Japan, and they could seat someone else. Representatively, even during the Toyotomi period, the names of families such as Shimazu, Mori, Tokugawa, and Uesugi, respectively, but Joseon was called the Joseon Army, and the difference was not called by name alone, although it was only by soldiers such as the Army and the Navy.

I did a very brief research so it might not be correct, but it is said that Ming sent the fleet of Shachuan (沙船). All I know of Shachuan(沙船) is that it is smaller variation of Chinese ship specialized in coast manuveur, so I think that explains why the ships are small. About color, I think director did it to differentiate with Korean ship. Korean ships are wooden color, and Japanese ships are dark. Chinese ships are given a red-green to figure out who is who.
Now, let's look at historical facts.The total strength of the Japanese army at that time was 600,000 soldiers, and only a portion of them were sent to the small country of Korea. Approximately 150,000 Japanese troops captured Seoul in three weeks, and most of the cities, including Pyongyang, in two months, even though they were across the ocean, and captured the Korean prince. The pitiful king of China's vassal state ran away from the Japanese army in tears and sought help from his suzerain, his great father, the Ming Dynasty. This war was a battle between Japan, which had an emperor, and China, which had an emperor, and the small countries merely provided a stage for the great powers to dance.,,[@@:

@@UltimateTruthChannel yeah that'd be cool, I'd be happy with a medieval to industrial era total war game set in Korea. Turn the tables maybe have Korea invade Japan, or take over China or go into the Russian steppes. Many possibilities with a diverse range of countries and units.
The Imjin War is not just a war, it's a tipping point that has had a huge impact on the history of Middle East Asia. First, Japan's Toyotomi regime failed to achieve its goal of occupying Joseon and advancing to the Ming Dynasty, suffered enormous losses, and suffered a blow to its prestige, eventually being overpowered by Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Ming had an economic crisis due to the huge war expenditure to save Joseon (the supply of dozens of soldiers, tens of thousands of tons of rice aid for the relief of Joseon), and the enormous loss of life, and they lost control of the aftershocks of Manchuria. Nurhachi established a Later Jin Dynasty and conquered the Ming Dynasty, developing into the Qing Dynasty. In the case of Joseon, the main battlefield of the war, more than a million people were killed, and two-thirds of the entire arable land was lost, which is an irreversible blow. The nation's economy system was blown away by considering that Joseon was an agricultural society developed around agriculture at the time. Joseon struggled to recover the damage, but failed to betray its Ming's loyalty in the fight between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then fought two wars with the Qing Dynasty, losing all of them and becoming Qing's tributes.
@@tl3033 You are right, but the situation was much more complicated. It is true that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, but the Ming is a huge country. Soldiers from Liaodong sent out to save Joseon, and as they moved south, there was a military and administrative vacuum in Manchuria. This was one of the reasons why the Ming failed to control Jurchen in time, even though they knew they were making disturbing moves. And Joseon was unexpectedly well aware of the trend of the Jurchen regime. But, due to such severe damage, Joseon put more emphasis on post-war restoration by striving to defend the border rather than helping the Ming and sending troops, which continued until the Battle of Sarhu. However, it was also true that Joseon believed that the Ming Dynasty would be able to handle the Qing Dynasty, and the result of passing time without actively intervening (they could not actually afford to do it) came back to two severe wars.
@@campfire1155 No I agree with you that the biggest consequence of Imjin was that in the chaos the Jurchens were able to unite to form Qing within few generations
The imjin war didn't create economic crisis and downfall of the ming, I seriously don't understand why this myth keeps getting touted around. Do some actual research before spouting false information. It was largely due to internal conflict and rebllions within the ming that lead to their downfall.
The Imjin War was the first real war involving Korea, China, and Japan. Before that, there was an attempt by the Mongols, allied with Goryeo, to invade Japan, but due to typhoons, full-scale battles did not occur. This war had a significant impact on East Asian history, leading to the decline of the Ming Dynasty and the collapse of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's regime.
When the movie was first released, I would have liked to have followed the original history, but I was disappointed in that part. Joseon taught the Japanese military, which could return as it did on August 27, 1597, to think twice in the event of an attack. Unlike the movie, the Ming Dynasty fought actively from the beginning, but the Japanese side did not fight. The Shimadzu family, whose unification of Kyushu was thwarted by Toyotomi's conquest of Kyushu, can be seen as an enemy and became a daimyo of Kyushu to watch them. In recognition of his contribution when he went to rescue Yukina Konishi, a subordinate of Hideyoshi, he became a daimyo of Kyushu, and the urgency to protect his family by proving his loyalty to the new regime and the Japanese people's desire to leave the boring Joseon land to return to their homeland. He tried to get out of the dead end and entered the country after trying to escape the dead end, and struggled to survive under the siege somehow. The director made a mistake... It's a naval battle of Hansan Island, even if it's too one-sided, this is hard to defend.
@@СоветскийСоюз-щ1щAs a result of the actual history and the movie, Japan, Ming, and Joseon each achieved a purpose. The result is not false, but a more intense and desperate process than in the movie. Joseon agreed to let go of its anger as an invader, Japan to return to its homeland, and Russia, as in Joseon's position, did not leave Napoleon's retreating troops to leave behind, so they fought desperately, and Japan, along with their lord Yoshihiro Shimazu, escaped major daimyo (although their boat sank), and Ming and Joseon drew results that would make them hesitate if they tried to re-attack.
@@dazewalker3340 What I want you to know is that China and Japan fought in this war. South Korea has hardly fought. It's pathetic enough to watch a Korean propaganda movie.
In the darkness of the night, it almost seems like the battle was being fought in space, within the dusty and meteor filled bands of a very dense star forming molecular cloud.
5:15 Shimazu clan guy: You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? Ming admiral: I cannot sink the shit out of you from over here. Unfortunately, he did not posess the Star Platinum.
Koreans did not have much importance in the war between Ming and Japan, Koreans lost all the cities, compressed the capital, the Korean king was forced to flee to Ming borders to ask for help, Korean navy remained only dozens of ships, Yi Sun-sin destroyed 31 ships in total, Japanese still have 669 ships
@@송하송-k2w Korean navy has about more than 80,000 soldiers (which is a quarter of Korea's total military strength) and 488 ships, including 80 warships (80 people per ship) and 192 auxiliary warships (30-60 people per ship). 26 service ships, entire Korean navy is annihilated by Japanese navy. Yi sun sin is not superman he only has 12 ships.... Ming to help Koreans sent 500 warships 🤷
In this period ,Ming was fighting with many enemies in the west against ,Mongols,Turkic ,and rebellions .in the east and also Japanise. Tha war was great and Chen Lin was a great warrior
They were embarrassed by the first surprise attack and made the mistake of entering a deep port. They had cleared out their bases to return to Japan, so if they lost their ship, they would never be able to return to their hometown. This scene shows them struggling for life. In the end, after a fierce battle, only a small number of people were able to return to Japan. You can see how severe the resentment and hatred of those who were invaded was.

Because on land Korea struggled quiet a bit, there were victories around the late stages of war when Choson military got used to fighting against Japanese muskets but the early stages of war was brtual. There are a few movies and dramas based on the imjin land wars tho. Its just the Naval prowess of Admiral Yi is so great the other land victories (as important as they are) are mere shadows of this man.
Mostly because we got wrecked in land battles. There are some victory cases in land such as Battle of Yichi, Siege of Jinju, and Haengju, but only Admiral Yi soon shin has the full drama; starting with unfairly treated carrier in his early service -> Promotion to Admiral in favor of King -> abandoned by his king -> Dies as a savior to his country. So the admiral seems more storyworthy compare to other generals.
@donkita1692 If you look at the records it was actually the Jurchens that halted the Japanese, Ming was severely unorganized and unprepared. but looking at Chinese history, its no surprise. That's why Hideyoshi thought taking over China would be ezpz
This is a Korean movie that depicts the final battle of the Imjin War when Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded the Josun Dynasty of Korea. After this battle, Hideyoshi died and Tokugawa Ieyasu took power and closed down Japan for 300 years. This war was very traumatic for the Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese alike. Chinese Ming Dynasty also fell apart after this war because they spent too much money and men on this campaign. Only Korean Josun Dynasty survived the aftermath of the war.
Well, you guys were just weak. What were other Korean generals doing while the whole of Korea was overrun in three months? Were the Koreans worried about the Jurchens in the north while the Japanese army marched into Pyongyang and captured the prince and the king fled? "申砬'' who had often repulsed the Jurchen tribe, but fought against the Japanese army's Yukinaga Konishi, was defeated and committed suicide by throwing himself into a river. Without the Ming Dynasty, this small country would have ended in just six months.

@@dmdmdidn2290 The reason Koreans are so attached to the northern peoples and the Jurchen is that Korea was a vassal state of China for 2,000 years.

And in order to delusion that they are on the side of the conqueror, they believe that it was the Baekje people who ruled Japan and that the imperial family was Baekje people. In fact, Chinese documents record the relationship between Baekje and Wa, but all of them say that Baekje was subordinate to Wa..

The presence of Yi Sun-shin is a trigger for the Japanese. It should be remembered that most Japanese today are not properly educated for the terrible crimes their country committed during World War II. History distortion is serious in China, but Japan is on a completely different level. In the past, the Japanese were constantly manipulating their sources, claiming to have buried relics in the ground and discovered something new. As a result, Japanese archaeological remains are now only recognized through cross-examination in Korea or China. And it is important to know that the Japanese king they serve as a god is blood related to Baekje, one of the ancient Korean states. However, Japan and the Japanese even deny this undeniable historical fact. The Japanese falsely claim that Baekje had nothing to do with the Koreans. Japan's armor style is almost the same as or very similar to Gaya, an ancient Korean country. I believe that one day there will be a day when many intellectuals around the world will realize how seriously Japan has distorted and revised records in many fields, including myths, history, and artifacts.
I dare not refer to several descriptions recorded in ”Nihon Shoki(일본서기)" or "Kojiki (고사기)" here, for you Koreans obstinately reject to accept thoseones. Thence, I'm gonna take up one of the history books of China ("The Book of Sui (隋書)"),and the cutline of "The Portraits of Periodical Offering (梁職貢図)" below:As for Silla and Baekje that had existed in the Korean peninsula: these kingdoms had been usually subordinate to Japan in ancient times.1. "The Book of Sui, " Vol. 81, Dongyi-zhuan 46 (隋書 東夷伝 第八十一巻 列伝四十六) saysas follows:"Both Silla and Baekje admired WA as a great nation with a plenty of things rare and precious.Therefore, they would often send their envoys to WA respectively."(新羅百濟皆以倭為大國 多珍物並敬仰之 恒通使往來)2. According to the cutline of "The Portraits of Periodical Offering (梁職貢図, Zhigongtu)"found in 2011, Silla had been subjugated not only to proto-Han (韓), but also to ancient Japancalled WA (倭)： "Salo (斯羅) was originally a tiny state located in Jinhan (辰韓, 진한), Dongyi (東夷, 동이). This state was called Silla (新羅) during the time of Wei (魏), or called Salo (斯羅) in the reign of the Song dynasty (宋朝). These two states were identical. King of this state could not send his envoys to anywhere at his own will. It is because this state belonged to Han (韓) in one period, but was subjugated to WA in another." (斯羅國，本東夷辰韓之小國也. 魏時曰新羅，宋時曰斯羅，其實一也. 或屬韓或屬倭，國王不能自通使聘.)
@donkita1692 my guy, if you can't understand the importance of winning naval battles when you're getting invaded from the sea then there's really no point in taking anything you say seriously
Japanese land forces were larger than Korean land forces, even with Ming support. Korean forces made up the majority of land forces against the Japanese throughout the war. Japanese navy was also larger than Korean Navy. Land battles were not showing clear victory against the Japanese, until Admiral Yi took charge of Korean Navy which soon gained full control of the sea/ocean preventing Japanese navy from sending supplies and reinforcement. Admiral Yi and Korean navy won all naval battles against the numerically superior Japanese navy which was suffering huge losses. With food resupply and weapon reinforcements destroyed by Korean navy, Japanese land forces were in full retreat and losing land battles, eventually leading to Japan losing the war. Korean navy sealed the victory. Prior to Korea-Japanese war, for many decades, Koreans have sent Korean military forces to support Ming against another Northeast Asian, Kim Dynasty(Jin/Qing). Kim Dynasty was preparing for full invasion of Ming Dynasty, thus Ming could not fully commit to Korean - Japanese war. However, Ming was obligated to support the Korea (Joseon) for the prior Korean support against Kim Dynasty. In few years after Korea-Japan war ended, Kim Dynasty (Jin/Qing) invaded and conquered Ming Dynasty, and this time Korean military could not provide large support for Ming as Korea was still recovering from Korea-Japan war. Kim Dynasty did not wanted to invade Korea(Joseon) as Kim Dynasty viewed Korea(Joseon) as same bloodline brother nation, since Kim Dynasty was founded by Korean Silla Dynasty, Kim family. But Korea refused to align with Kim Dynasty and chose war against the Kim Dynasty, however Korean court eventually aligned with Kim Dynasty(Jin/Qing) to avoid total economic collapse. After Ming Dynasty collapse, Ming loyalties fled to Korea which protected them from Kim Dynasty prosecution which was death for all Ming hierarchy.

대장군전: Korean missiles that are fired from cannons. They fly faster and further than cannon balls and are more accurate because they fly in a straight line.
In the early stage of the Rolyang Battle, Yi Sun-sin was shot dead by the Japanese Satsuma's gunmen, yet he continued to fight against the Japanese forces, I believe that he was highly motivated to fight to protect his country. The Satsuma gunmen were soldiers who were able to accurately snipe their opponents on the shaky sea and in total darkness, so it can only be called as unlucky. However, in spite of the ambush and attack on the fleeing Japanese forces, none of the officers of the Japanese forces could be killed and returned to Japan safely, and on the contrary, Yi Sun-sin and other officers of the Joseon Navy were killed across the board, which may not be the result. In addition, there were only 61 POWs taken by the Japanese forces and the number of POWs was very small, so it would be better to reconsider the number of POWs killed in the war and the results of the war. This is a point common to both Ming and Japanese documents of the time. Only in the diary of Yi Sun-sin, the number of the turtle ship and the number of the battle results jumped up, so it is better to make a calm judgment. However, Yi Sun-sin is a hero of Joseon, and that is a definite fact.
@@fghdjajak The total strength of the Japanese army at that time was over 500,000, and 150,000 were sent to Korea. Don't lose sight of the fact that a third of the total military force captured Seoul in three weeks and most of the cities, including Pyongyang, in two months. In this war, Korea was only a supporting player, and only Japan and China fought mainly. Korea was weak and had entrusted all authority to China, its suzerain, so it was China that negotiated with Japan, and Korea was refused participation in the negotiations by China, its suzerain.🤣🤣
