"Noryang: Deadly Sea" is certain to at least break the four million viewer mark domestically regardless of next weekend's box office receipts. "Noryang: Deadly Sea" depicts the final naval battle of the Japanese invasion of Korea, where an attempted retreat by Japanese forces was foiled by Admiral Yi Sun-shin for fear they would again restart the war. The next major release in the South Korean market will be "Alienoid: Return to the Future" on January 10th.
