Hello ! @seirazde, @maris, @nicole, @jenzzy
on why in Korea it was not as successful as expected.... the way I understood him was, "Koreans" take the traditional approach, conservative and the history as they know it... The Royal Tailor has full of charms, humor and fantasy that is not limited to strictly historical.
What was funny as I recall Director Lee Won Suk.... when the story killed the genius tailor... the netizens wrote .... "why did you kill him"... they did not like it !!... "you should be the one killed !!!"
I hope in Japan, the film will be successful and welcoming to the audience.
morning from my TZ sister @nu2me... just my 2cents op, maybe koreans also seems to think that the movie to melancholic... coz im also didnt feel the impact after watching this movie. the objective isnt clear enough for netizens to understands. some sort of boring plot also include.
