Hello readers,
I shall be writing another review on this Korean caper film, Seondal: The Man Who Sells The River. Set in the Jeoseun era, the film starred Yoo Seung Ho and the rest of the gang as they teamed up to swindle their way and even elaborate a big game which is the central of the story.
Prior to moving on with the review, the leading man, Seung Ho, I must say that he holds the story very well and along with the cast, Seondal: The Man Who Sells The River is a film which you can't even missed. A veteran in acting, I am impressed by how far he come and by the age of 23, he is already selective of which role to act. Another show I would greatly and highly recommend you to watch is Remember: War of the Son. I will write a review for this series another time.
Back to Seondal: The Man Who Sells The River, initially the first half of the film seemed kind of redundant. Although it does provide some tacky comedy, the film almost lost my attention and also lost its momentum halfway. I was glad the film's pace was picked up again the moment when the gang decided to sell the river that was filled with gold. Anyone who likes conning and swindling theme would like this film as much as I do. For those who are interested in watching Seondal because of EXO's Xiumin's involvement, I suggest you to watch the film online or just go on YouTube and searched for his parts. His involvement although plays a part in the leading character, he only lasted for at least 40 minutes or so.
With the twist and swindling at its best, Seondal: The Man Who Sells The River is an absolute film to watch. Although the film with English subtitle can be found online, my suggestion is find reputable ones or wait for the DVD. Such film should be enjoyed with family at home and watching on an actual DVD player.
Ratings: 6/10
P.S. I look forward to Yoo Seung Ho's upcoming projects, though there isn't any yet. Looking forward to what he will bring to the dining table next. :)
