Deeply moving love story

It is true there are editing and transition problems as noted by others; so the performances of the lead actors are even more incredible for how they rise above those failures on the director's part. This is one of the great love stories in film--and Seung-woo Cho commands the screen. He is alternately love struck, charmingly funny, masterful, dangerous, and tender. The cave scene lasts only a couple of minutes: but his character's love for the queen is all there. Yes he will defend her with his sword, but he will also protect and nurture her from his very body and soul. Throughout the film, his is a breathtaking devotion to the sweet, brave, and beauteous queen that this young actor captures perfectly.
