Actor Jeon Mi-do shared her thoughts after the film 'The King and the Man Who Lives' ("Wangsanam") surpassed 10 million admissions.
Jeon wrote on social media on Friday, "I thought there was no happier moment than resting under the eaves with a cool breeze, away from the sun — but 10 million?" She added that she felt "truly happy and fulfilled" that the movie had made so many people feel "refreshed and warm," and said she was "sincerely grateful."
The film is set against the Gyeyu Coup, which shook the Joseon Dynasty, and follows the deposed King Danjong, Yi Hong-wi (Park Ji-hoon), and Eom Heung-do (Yoo Hae-jin), the village chief of Gwangcheongol, as they spend time together in exile and form a bond. Jeon plays Maehwa, a court maid serving Danjong.
The movie became the 34th Korean film to reach 10 million admissions on Thursday. It is the fourth historical film to do so, following 'The King and the Clown' (2005), 'Masquerade' (2012) and 'The Admiral: Roaring Currents' (2014).
