Misleadingly misrepresents Korean/Japanese History, Admiral Yi got Robbed
9 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This series as a whole seems to want to over-dramatise characters to make them seem insane or something along those lines, presumably to create a villain dynamic to keep audiences interested. Despite these figures being completely different in real life.

For example, Oda Nobunaga was not the crazed psychopath portrayed here, he was not disrespectful of Japanese culture. He was known as being wild in his youth because his sense of fashion was bizarre for the time. He was ruthless and tyrannical, but not unhinged

The greatest sin of this show is the episode that deals with the Korean War. The show mentions a band of partisans and makes it sound like they won the war on their own. However it completely neglects to mention the greatest hero in Korean history. Admiral Yi Sun Sin was single handedly responsible for changing the course of the war, and he doesn't even get a mention. The guy that Horatio Nelson once described as the greatest Admiral in history doesn't even get a reference. What the Hell?
