A movie that bet everything on its opening

On October 26, 1909, An Jung-geun was desperately hoping to assassinate Ito Hirobumi.

An attempt was made to assassinate Ito Hirobumi as planned, but the information was leaked and failed.

In this way, Ahn Jung-geun was killed on the spot and the assassination of Hirobumi ended in failure.

With this snowball, Japan becomes a great empire that occupies Manchuria and China, becomes a permanent member of the UN, and the nuclear weapons belong to Germany, not Japan.

As a result, Japan developed into a large country on par with the United States, and the 1988 Nagoya Olympics were held instead of the Seoul Olympics.

The 2002 World Cup was held in Japan, not Korea-Japan World Cup.

Gyeongseong, not Seoul, became Japanese territory. Korea was completely Japaneseized, and the Japanese Government-General of Korea remained intact.

A statue of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, not a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, was built in Gwanghwamun.

An alternative history in which Jang Dong-gun, a descendant of Koreans but a former Japanese detective, realizes his identity and changes history by returning to the past in a time machine.

It is a legendary film that was made with a lot of Japanese and Hollywood actors at the time, but because all the effort was put into the opening, the content was so-so.

In addition, since it was not a Korean production but a joint venture between Japan and Korea, there were many reactions wondering if Japan had changed its mind.

It’s a very unconventional story in Korea, where there aren’t that many alternative history works, and it’s interesting to look at now, but they put it all into the opening.
