Bridal Mask - 2012 - 7/10
[Image: 73gopi.jpg]
Tremendously popular Korean series, set during pre WWII occupied Korea.
Resistance loner, wearing white and a traditional bridal mask, single handedly combats Japanese troops, police, and fatcat appeasers enriching themselves while their brothers bleed and starve.
Quality sets and costumes, the best production values, typical of K-dramas. Several haircuts were jarringly wrong, however. No males had hair over the ears, especially military or police. Nightclub shows struck me as a bit modern, as well, but perhaps not.
Real issue was the concept, Korean resistance. According to Wiki (dubious source of info), strikes were the prevalent form, not armed confrontation.
Despite those quibbles, an excellent series, stained with blood, beatings, shootings, torture, and corrupt intrigue.
High body count in this one.
