I Am The King

The film centers on the three months leading up to Choong-nyung's ascension as king. It explores his transition from being perceived as a reclusive bookworm to becoming King Sejong, a legendary figure known for creating the Korean alphabet and advancing scientific research and law. The narrative highlights the dynamics within the royal family, particularly the competition between Choong-nyung and his older brothers, Yangnyeong and Hyoryeong.

Set in the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910), the film taps into a lesser-known period of history that is often overlooked in traditional records. This adds an intriguing layer for collectors interested in historical narratives and the evolution of significant figures in Korean history. With a talented cast featuring Ju Ji-hoon and Baek Yoon-sik, the film provides both entertainment and insight into a crucial time in Korea's past.

For collectors, I Am The King is available on DVD, making it accessible for those who appreciate historical dramas and Korean cinema. Its unique perspective on King Sejong's early life adds depth to any collection focused on Asian history and film.
