Pseudo-long review

Does anyone think it's the Korean version of Farewell My Concubine like I do? Especially the emotional realm between two people that is more than friendship and detached from love, is there a similarity?
A film with a heavy sense of history, the actors, the common people, the officials and the royal family are divided into different living classes. Whether it is a comparison or an irony, it is obvious that the monarchy has this common problem, maybe.
How should I put it... It's a good film, maybe I didn't watch it, and it didn't shock me as much as when I watched Farewell My Concubine.
The last shot that flew up...even though it was intentional...why do I feel like laughing so hard =-= (don't fight)
Who the hell is the king's man referring to? What does it mean? Is the king, the man? Or, the man who is king... I don't know how you understand it, I think it refers to Changsheng, his loyalty, his philistine, and his emotional outbursts all show a person who is perplexed and worked hard for life and feelings. More surly and violent than King Yanshan. Two people, one is a man of temperament, and the other is a lunatic...
Besides, Lee Joon-gi is so charming. This energy is so simple. I am addicted to not knowing whether it is female or male. His acting skills are amazing.
