The film “Jeon, Ran” tells the story of two men who grew up together during the turbulent era of the Japanese invasions of Korea: “Jongryeo” (played by Park Jung-min), the son of Joseon’s most powerful military family and his servant “Cheonyeong” (played by Kang Dong-won). After being separated, they reunite as enemies: Jongrieo as one of King Seonjo’s (played by Cha Seung-won) closest confidants and Cheonyeong as the militia leader.
In “Jeon, Ran,” King Seonjo is depicted fleeing the palace at the outbreak of war, while the common people fight desperately with the hope that their efforts will earn them freedom from slavery. The film portrays these events with a mix of realism and grandeur.
In addition to the gripping plot, the action scenes featuring Park Jung-min and Kang Dong-won also attract attention. Despite their differences in social status – one is an aristocrat and the other a servant – the two characters are depicted as close friends who care deeply for each other. However, due to a series of misunderstandings, their relationship deteriorates and they end up facing each other as enemies with swords drawn.
Park Jung-min gives a calm yet intense performance as Jongryeo, a loyal servant who faithfully follows the king’s orders and strives to earn the monarch’s favor. When Jongryeo discovers during the war that Cheonyeong was responsible for the deaths of his entire family, he is consumed by betrayal. Park’s portrayal of this character full of betrayal is intense and menacing.
