By Jason Lim This is the movie that came to mind when I first heard about the whole brouhaha surrounding the cancellation of Joseon Exorcist, a K-drama that took extensive liberties with historical figures in the early decades of the 1392-1910 Joseon Kingdom. While I understand that King Sejong is one of the most revered figures in Korean history, Abraham Lincoln is probably not too far behind in the annals of American history. Yet, the movie about Abraham Lincoln hunting down and killing vampires was panned by the poor execution of the movie and not by the patently false premise. How is Sejong killing evil spirits more offensive to Koreans than Lincoln killing vampires? Yet, it was, and led to the cancellation of the series only after two airings.
