An interesting retelling of a moving true story, the acting skills of the actors, the appearance and personality of the real people
The show has been praised for its thorough research, which has perfectly recreated the characters' quirks, and has been praised for overcoming the negative factors.
According to the Korean Film Council on the 9th, the movie "The Battle," which was released on the 26th of last month, had a total audience of 1.4 million people, based on the ticket sales calculation.
It has topped the box office charts for 14 days, beating out competing films such as director Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17" and Ha Jung-woo's "Lobby."
It is likely that the break-even point (about 1.8 million people) will be reached after this weekend. The match will be played by Cho Hun-hyun (Lee
The story is about a young tyrant, Byung-hun, who is defeated in a showdown with his disciple Lee Chang-ho (Yu A In), but then decides to challenge for the top again with his natural competitive spirit.

The film was scheduled to finish production in 2021 and be released on Netflix in 2023 after post-production, but the lead actress Yu A In's drug use scandal that year led to the film being postponed.
The release was postponed due to COVID-19. In January, By Four M Studios took over distribution and the film was released in theaters for the first time in four years instead of on Netflix.
Until now in the film industry, when an actor has caused problems, their role in the film has generally been reduced or their entire appearance has been edited out.
However, since "The Battle" depicts the process of two people becoming rivals in life and fighting each other, Yu A In's part was used as it was.
"The film's perfection is enhanced through thorough research." The film revolves around the complex emotional and psychological changes of master Cho Hun-hyun, who watches his student Lee Chang-ho surpass him.
However, since Lee Chang-ho is the person who shakes up Jo Hoon-hyun's life, except for the weight of the child actor Kim Kang Hoon (playing the young Lee Chang-ho) in the early part of the film, Yu A In's role is quite large.
This is about 90 minutes out of the total 115 minutes of running time. This is the reason why there were concerns that "the public's negative reaction to Yu A In will be an obstacle to box office success." However, this was a needless fear.
The deciding factor is the actual audience rating of the three multiplexes on this day: △CGV Golden Egg Index 97 percent △Lotte Cinema rating 9.4 points △MEGA
The film is currently receiving a 9.1 rating, the highest rating among all Korean films released this year. The film is an interesting retelling of a moving true story with a fascinating theme of a "master-student showdown," and the film is a fascinating look at the appearance of people from a great power.
The analysis is that the actors' acting skills and the perfect reproduction of the characters' appearances, personalities, and mannerisms through thorough research overcame a large portion of the risk.
"The fact that the story itself is a true story is a hot topic because it was a major incident," he said, adding, "The detailed research has raised the quality of the film." He also commented, "All the actors are so good that they look just like the real people.
He added, "The acting is excellent and the film is very immersive."
