The Immortal Yi Soon Shin - Battle of Hansan Island (2/2)

[pescadomortal]

i have no idea of what did the bloody dude said, but it's still so inspirational xD

[dactylus90]

disaster hahaha

[i8hy6e3]

korea was the best bow warrior country. they used very small and fast bow.

[sp54584]

Wakizaka once defeated the Chosunese army of 50,000 using only 1,600 troops previously before this battle which took place in Yongin. The Battle of Yongin was probably the most devastating defeat of the Chosunese troops. However, this sea battle ended Wakizaka's undefeated streak, proving that even an undefeated general can be beat. No wonder why Admiral Yi Soon-Shin is the greatest hero in Korean history!

[TurtleandCrane]

@sp54584 nope, the 1,600 was a group of the 50,000 man Joseon Jeolla province army + civilian volunteers and they attempt to beseige a castle in Yongin occupied by 600 Japanese. The Japanese in that castle were reinforced by the main Japanese force the next day and with these reinforcements the 1,600 man army of Joseon was defeated.

[Stektanudlar]

Samurai speaking korean does indeed sound strange. Stupid choice by the director.

[ShindyK2]

@Stektanudlar He was taken captive when Japanese raided a coastal town. Originally korean but was made into a Samurai, he was ultimately loyal to the country.

[aragorn1780]

@Stektanudlar the production was already expensive as f---, and it would have just been too much for them hiring translators and teaching the actors the proper pronunciations of Japanese lines, especially with the amount of lines they had

[Stektanudlar]

@aragorn1780 Bad is bad

[ninjalanyards]

I'm Japanese and Samurai speaking Korean sounds strange to me.

[helen0519]

he won 23/23!!

[danceontightrope]

Why do Korean soldiers wear Mongolian armours?

[rlatndnsxo]

@danceontightrope Before the Joseon dynasty, Koryo Dynasty was under heavy influence of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. So about 200 year later, the Imjin War breaks out, and the armory had Mongolian influence.

[lifes40123]

@danceontightrope they are actually wearing ching chang chong chinaman crap

[Stektanudlar]

@lifes40123 As long as it's not American, it's fine by me

[kingbilgames]

@danceontightrope Influence via China.

[ajshim]

Let's all remember that this a drama in honor of Admiral Yi Sun Shin. The drama is focused on him. Also this a drama, not everything that happened in this drama is 100% accurate.

[goyange34]

@ram203v alied peace ? you gotta be kidding me. it was not alied relationship man.... i'm korean and if you learned some history, Ko-Ryo(고려) couldn't defend Mongol's invasion. Ko-Ryo surrendered and Mongol changed their countryname to Won(元) and they began to put some pressure to Ko-Ryo's politics. :P I'm not offending but, agree with your opinion that Japan was nothing at that time cuz they were divided :)

[goyange34]

@WTF7715 Mongol conquered Korea, and Mongol asked Korea to send troops to invade japan but Korea & Mongol Ships destoryed by typhoon. so actually, they tried to invade...but failed :P

[aragorn1780]

man, honestly, name a ship that exists today that are roughly the size of those Korean warships that can turn right on the keel like that!

[El1t3HUNT3R13]

[El1t3HUNT3R13]

@crazykorean2268 I agree with you man, you guys kicked some ass!

[crazykorean2268]

@yes! SOUTH KOREA > japan

[kayuath]

Japanese were desperate to conquer Korea :/

[keiya1955]

First, the purpose, the army landed in Iki, Tsushima, and kill the residents of all ages and all the military commanders not only to protect the island, and also landed in Hakata in Fukuoka, to massacre the inhabitants of Hakata, the city ablaze devoted to the might of violence as we!

[keiya1955]

Korea was a vassal state of the age of the Chinese yuan, twice in 1281 and prior to 1274 AD During this period, over 170,000 Allied Mongolia Koreans Han people, the Japanese warship more than 5,000 vessels invaded.

[sae05z]

this battle remains, 4th place of epic sea battle in the history of the world. So proud of being korea

[8000jk]

well i guess they invaded korea because in 1247 korea(with mongols)invaded japan probably the japs like restoring there honour

[Anonie324]

No. Toyotomi Hideyoshi had, after unifying Japan, had a flight of fancy that involved the invasion and conquest of China and India (Yes, India). He wanted his troops to get passage through Korea to begin the invasion of Ming China, but the king refused. Hideyoshi was really pissed off and invaded Korea, and look where that got him!

[potterry1]

A difference of the motivation is big?

Motivation to attack for a Japanese soldier in Korea is low. hideyosi which is the general of the Japanese soldier gives instructions lazily in Japan.

Korea force fights with a sense of impending crisis for it. The difference is big.

[WhiteTigerIsBack]

He didnt lose any soldiers amazing

[MrKorlover]

오 우리에 영웅 이순신 장군뜨셧네.....

[nozscrap]

Chinese have helped Korean ass anytime.KOrean army was not usefull,and Lee is overvalued.

[Koguryeo19]

@nozscrap yea im sure. Because your navy did alot of work right? And the Ming army wasn't as useful as being another enemy in disguise as the only reason why they came in the first place was because their borders were threatened and lets also state the fact that the Ming army also raped women and destroyed Joseon property. seriously its the Chinese that are overvalued.

[Koguryeo19]

@nozscrap oh and your an idiot for even thinking such a thing. Your just a retarded nationalist that just loves to prove that his country is top dog. Seriously no one is going to care in the long run.

[gunther1997]

Japan need some help.

[nozscrap]

Yi Soon Shin?LOL You KOrean forget Chinese kindness.

[gk0803]

짱깨 go home

[Koguryeo19]

@nozscrap okay lets see. Would rape be a sign of kindness? Would destruction of Joseon property be a show of kindness? Would the meager support shown by the Ming be a show a kindness? If yes then you my friend need to get a rain check for reality.

[Koguryeo19]

Again your a fucking idiot.

[NomadHeart1985]

the turtle ship is really a very advanced concept and design in its time.

[flamingrhino555]

this and dae jo young are the best korean drama's ever in my opinion

[Daniel4646]

Yi Soon-Shin is considered one of the greatest military leaders ever, and from what I know, I have to agree. If it hadn't been for infernal court intrigue, the Japanese would never have had a chance to set foot on Korean soil.

[pengyou1909]

Hi~I'm Korean ~Nice to see you*^^*

[DNAz5646]

korean is on giant battle field japs attack us to invade china Mongols invade us to attack japan were stuck in the middle

[wicked3636]

lets talk about kogurea!!

wat japs doing at that time???

pay tax to koreans.

korea is mother land for japs by that time!

but japs change the history when they took over korea.

and ppls in japen belivery that bullshit

they dont even know where they really from is....

[junyichen]

@wicked3636 :

If you don't know the history, please don't bullshit! China was the motherland of Korea and Japan. However, Japan was the strongest among the three, Korea was just a small potatoe at that time.

[mekon11]

Please tell me wat time? If japan was strong, why did Korea took Tsushima island and forced the japanese to make a peace treaty to not attack korean harbors (Wakou)?

[kero7642]

japan only got stronger when they discovered new weapons from foreign countries. before that, they were the weakest. china had invaded korea with their numbers but korea fought them off most of the time. sometimes, the chinese succeeded in invading and the koreans suffered shit. so korea wasn't a potatoe all the time. it had its ups and downs and korea was only weak coz it had a small population

[junyichen]

@kero7642 :

China was the most civilized and strongest among the three. Korean and Japan did not have their own writting system, they used Chinese writting until recently (20th. century). China was the protector of Korea, when Japan invade Hansan of Korea, Korean beg help from China, China sent army tried to protect Korean, but got defeated by Japan. This is the "TRUE" history. Please stop confuse people with your "History according to Korean".

[kero7642]

that may have happened at different times. china was only strong coz they had population. Goguryeo was successful of fighting off the chinese with their bows. the chinese wanted to use goguryeo bows but did not know how to make them. see, sometimes they lose, sometimes they win.

[Koguryeo19]

By civilized? Are you trying to say that the damage and terror that the Ming army did to us was justified? Are you trying to say that rape and damage to cilivian's property was justified? It is true that Korea asked... asked for help from Ming. And lets not forget the only reason why they even gave help to Joseon was because they were afraid that the Japanese forces would threaten their borders. So in fact your "TRUE history" is complete utter bullshit.

[sae05z]

@wicked3636 agreed

[Hanul91]

@wicked3636

LOL japs are just Korean people, hence why language, genetics, and culture is similar.

[IwantaYBaccount]

There is no time machine. First korean war was only 600years ago. You can't let first emperor who burned stuffs2000years ago to live again and burn stuffs in later history. PS: Kanji was your offical language before 1956.李朝实录is your own korean chronicle, however, when you can't even read your own history, you ask me to learn history??? LMAO

[IwantaYBaccount]

Afraid of US Invasion, China helped North korea. When buffer zone was establised, our army went home. If you had a brain, tell me why Ming still do it, when he can just by agree with japanese during first negociation. Ming can established a buffer zone even without going to war. purely useless to debate with u. Jackass

[IwantaYBaccount]

Go and research李朝实录in your korean library!!! it is in 文言文. garbage!! Even I give you the link, do you even able to read it???when you can't debated with me, denial method is your way. LOL what a jackass.

[IwantaYBaccount]

LOL what a moron! giant Fu ship福船and in 15 century portugees already trade 佛朗机炮 portugee cannon with Ming. You are not only iliterate, but also stupid and ignorant.

[IwantaYBaccount]

that wouldn't happen, coz if Ming didn't care about Korea, he can just accept Japan's first treaty offer, Korea would be North korea!! The japanese treaty is like this: " to cut japanese occupied land south of Han river to Japan, and return occupied land North of Han river, including Seoul the capital to Korea, and use Korea as a buffer state, and then peace."

[IwantaYBaccount]

Just like North korean propaganda, they purposely played down chinese army's role who did the most fight with US. Is this your people's hobby?? this dramma fantacy your Yi soon shin general use tens of turtle ships against thousands of japnese ship, it shamelessly put our army as shadow. but your own chronicle honestly indicates there were more than 500s giant chinese Fu navy ships armed with portugee cannons around who did the major battles. Even the cannon gun operator are from China ZheJian!

[IwantaYBaccount]

in your李朝实录,the cannon operator in your turtle ships are soldiers from Ming Navy!! when japanese concentrated its force solely attack your commander's ship, it is our admiral with giant size ship dared saild in and try to rescue your General. Not reverse around!! Moron.

[IwantaYBaccount]

are you talking about Qin shi huang di?? How many kanji characters are you able to read?? I明史录 is perfectly preserved, and there even has online version of it out there available. As a bobby, Ming chronicles are my favorite, I am reading it and know it.

[IwantaYBaccount]

enough with your twisted dramma version history! Before China sent in its elite calvary "liao tong tie ji", your king lost all territory and escaped to Chinese border island begging for help! before China sent in firearm troops and cannons from south China, you were dead targets of Japanese guns. learn Kanji and read your own李朝实录,and stop acting like a jerk.

[IwantaYBaccount]

In order to save your pathetic face and so called national pride, you would made up way to much bullshits..japanese and chinese history chronicles about the war are worthless in your eyes, but do you people able read your OWN be trusted chronicle written in Kanji characters??? If you able to read, you would know how bullshit this dramma is!!

[IwantaYBaccount]

koreans.. I don't give a damn about what ever you say about other chinese dynasties. If you ever have concept as SHAME. you wouldn't disgrade MIng. Ming used up all its silver reserves and faced government financial crisis, in order to rescue you out of japanese occupation. You are one of the biggest reason why MIng empire didn't survive the peasant uprising due to little ice age brought natural disasters. if those money were saved, it is enough to raise 8 army to kill Manchu 8 times.

[pgaru]

Are you stupid? Do you really think Ming helped out cause they cared for the Koreans? If you understand from the very beginning, which Ming was very aware of, Japan's main intent was to take over China. Korea was to be the foothold to start the conquest. In other words, Korea shielded and took most of the bloodshed. I'm not saying Ming didn't do anything about it, they did help, but don't ignorantly blame the fall of the Chinese empire to the Koreans.

[pgaru]

It's cause of the Koreans that and Yi Sun Shin that the fate of China and Korea did not take a much more tragic turn from the Japanese.

[IwantaYBaccount]

are you purposely been stupid or what?? Learn Kanji and read your own chronicle, and see why your king blame himself so much for the downfall of Ming! and the main thing is To compare with your own ancient chronicle and see how bullshits this dramma is!! Pathetic! a people can't even read his own past, and the record is outthere available.

[IwantaYBaccount]

if Ming didn't care about korea, the Ming emperor can just agree with japanese during first negociation, "To cut japanese occupied lands over south of Han river, and return lands north of Han river to Korean". Korea still can act as a buffer zone like modern day North korea. Once again, To read your own chronicle about that part history written in Kanji!! ignorant+stupid+shameless

[pgaru]

Wow, it's like you didn't even read past the first thing I said. If Japan wanted to ultimately take over China, and to first use Korea as a foothold....why would China agree to let Japan have part of Korea, effectively giving Japan a base of operation to take over China. The Chinese knew Japan wanted to get to China, that is why they helped the Koreans later to fend the Japanese off.

[pgaru]

Btw dont confuse me with condoning other people saying that the Chinese did nothing and had no repercussions from the Japanese invasion, but you basically trying to counter their remarks by saying how badly Korea hurt China. And that is what I was saying before, it is not Korea's fault the Ming dynasty fell, wouldn't it be the Japanese instead? Don't hate on Korea just cause China helped, and fell cause of it. China did not "sacrifice" itself preserve Korea, but to also preserve China itself.

[vguyver2]

Honor? It's kinda funny, Honor is only gained by victors. How many Japanese commanders had actualy allowed the Korean Generals like Yi Il to fight with even odds, none at all. Not only that, but the only nval victory they gained in the war was through espienage espionage. I admire the many military feats and advances they used during that era, but they obviously lacked the direction needed for naval combat and the common sense to alter tactics, which the Japanese failed to do.

[vguyver2]

Well said, and it's also well known that the Japanese tried to hire two Portuguese war ships to aid in the war. I'm not sure why they refused, but it's likely because they wanted to avoid falling under the command of a bunch of admirals who haven't won any battles.

here's my advice to the fucking chinks that think that they did anything during this war. GET OFF CRACK

[crazykorean2268]

i agree wit u man. chinese did nothing good. in fact, it made us lose alot of soldiers an dships due to chinese

[M1A1HA1991]

here's my advice to the fucking korea thatthat they did anything during this war except running and running

[vguyver2]

Look, the Koreans were caught off guard and terribly outnumbered by the enemy at the time. Not only that but they had progressed far ahead in close range combat via tactics and weapons. China was even more archaic and didn't do much throuhg most of the war. In fact, the soldiers sent in to aid the Koreans actualy ended up attacking Koreans and Japanese alike in order to gain a greater kill record. They did in the end aid the Koreans, but it was not as heavily needed towards the end of the war.

[jookyoungjo]

Let me make it clear. Gun powder was invented in China. There's no opposition for that. The fact is that Koreans at this time used cannons as their main firearms. During the war they had to develop various kinds of cannons. Ming did come to help Koreans but sadly it had not been great help because they didn't take their heart to the best in fighting since it was not their country, rather sometimes they negotiated with Japan at the war.

[vguyver2]

They did send help, but it was after the redecloration of war. But it was a disaster, they were attacking Korean civilians and even the allied Korean armies at certian areas. It was chaotic, on the other hand though, they did contribute to the last battles and achieved a few victories fighting side by side with the Koreans. It's just a shame their generals were such heartless monsters towards the people they were supposed to help.

[eugeneluv]

I think your comments are exact

[jookyoungjo]

In my hometown has this Turtle ship as a model. So many places and things that were present in this era are all there in the city of Yeosu. Very exciting but serious history. This movie is very accurate. All of cannons existed and are in the museum. Don't assume that the war was premitive. Actually, it was quite modern at that time using cannons(Joseon) and guns(Japan).

[jeehun3304]

Although many people believe that Ming helped a lot, they didn't...

[hyoboy81]

it's funny how all japanese wore some sort of armor, but enlisted and officers, while only korean officers wore armor.

[Drummin4theHighest]

vast majority of korean military forces back then (during early-mid to late Joseon dynasty) was of ordinary commoners, mostly farmers. they were conscripted pretty much in this kind of emergency cases, and many had to even make clothes for themselves, or buy them.

the professional army (Gap-sa) was royal military branch that served much as royal guards and for public peace, wearing armors.

officers were generals were professional and thus given the official military equipments.

[seho]

but .. some of study.show there wore a (gap ju ) made of wooden armor .. it just dont show it in tv becouse they dont know they wore it

[Drummin4theHighest]

japanese army was many in part, of commoners too. but with the end of the warring period of japan, the militants and local lords became discontent, and to get rid of this, hideyoshi initiated this 'imjin war'. japan, being unified, so was the miitary.

korea was of course unified, but with confuscious idea so entrenched, the idea to military was not appreciated much at all. apparently korea wasnt militarily ready, even ignoring scholar yool go ii's '100 thousand soldier doctrine'

[bryangld27]

2.korea flag copy from chinese taichi yingyang.

3.korea clothes copy from chinese hanfu(Ming Dynasty )

4.seoul's real name is (汉城)han city=chinese city

[TaeGukKiPride]

Your history is bad as your english.

1. Korean Hanbok was invented right in Korea during 3 kingdom period.

2. Seoul means capitol city, wtf chinese city?

3. Korean Flag was invented by Koreans using the ying yang pholosophy, not necessarily copying.

During the Imjin war all battles were fought on Korea land, and the Japanese mostly fought the Koreans thus it was Korea vs Japan. Ming contribution to the war is nothing compared to Joseon's.

[yunzhizi]

[TaeGukKiPride]

If your going to argue type in english. Chinese soldiers were bad as the Japanese, half the time they wouldnt cooperate with the Korean soldiers and they often looted and raped civilians.

[yunzhizi]

sorry .i can not speak english well.

but You must know that China does not want to join this war. But Korea requested that China helps.If Korea can defeat Japan. Why did China joined this war? If the South Korean thought that they have defeated Japan without china helps. This is the ungrateful performance

[TaeGukKiPride]

Who said koreans thought they defeated the japanese without chinese help? Im saying who dedicated themselves more. Why did China join this war? Japan's intentions were to go through korea and go into China. Surley you do know what would have happened then.

[hyoboy81]

i agree. the safety of korea meant the safety of china, which something that chinese refues to admit. what's matter with those chinese anyway?

[ronnieboy3]

I've never watch a Korean series before. (Don't understand the language and don't like reading subtitles.) But I like to watch this one. From one Chinese Canadian to the Korean members: Hats off for a great Korean General that saved both Korean and China.

[TaeGukKiPride]

If Korean's had not defeated Japan in naval combat think of what would have happened. Who are you to defy history? Do you have a profession on this topic? Instead of trolling go study on some history, and learn some proper english while your at it.

[toyotomi4sei]

yunzhizi

I agree with you.

[lazyazzazn125]

Those of you that say China won, and that Korea was weak are wrong. Yi soon shin is one the best admirals of all time. Even Admiral togo from Japan, the successful admiral of the russo-japanese war once stated: "You can compare me to as Nelson of the east, but do not compare me to Yi soon shin of korea, he is too remarkable for anyone" In fact, korea won ALL their naval battles against Japan, and in every case were outnumbered.

[lazyazzazn125]

actual no korea won many important land battles with decisive manuevers. Also the hwacha assisted them in defeating the japanese

[SrXBankai]

How do you know TheFountainExpress?? Lmao you're probably be fucked up in less then 15 sec even if you were fighting in that war. So Stfu fag

Firepowder and stuff was discover in Asia then brought to Europe if u didnt learn ur history...and btw Korean dude Jap soldiers are look so kooler....and yes General Yi was brilliant

[TaeGukKiPride]

wat so kewl about bald idiots with pony tails on top of their heads

[86goryeoguk]

the panokson cannons were also very useful in admiral yi's attack. its design allowed it to fire from longer distances. but the plans in itself were genius. Admiral yi is one of the most brilliant minds of his time and a hero.

[rtwfreak]

It is one of the best tricks ever being pulled of by an outnumbered commander.

In case of the Koreans, distance to the Japanese ships was their ally, since the Japanese wanted to board and fight man to man.

So the Koreans where able to finish them of from a distance. Simple but briliant.

[ko2es]

whos that chosun guy inside the japanese warship?

[TaeGukKiPride]

its a hostage

[Gubernick7]

Ironically, a Japanese general in the Sino-Japanese War would use General Yi's plans to defeat the Russians in a major sea battle. Americans must remember that Admirals David Farragut and Chester Nimitz studied General Yi and fought by his battle plans or only slightly developed them.

[Shadow2271]

wasnt this the first navel battle that used cannons?

[6U4RD1AN]

Are you kidding??? Cannons were in use in europe for a century.

[mugasinna]

Have you ever studied eastern asia history?

Cannon actually made by chinese first, and

Korean army introduced it in 1380.

This war was held in 1592~1599.

Got it?

[mugasinna]

I write it for 6U4RD1AN; spanish guy.

[6U4RD1AN]

My response is for shadow2271 who says that this is the first naval battle to use cannons.

it´s not, i´m not saying where the cannons were used first in naval battles but sure it isn´t in this battle.

[TaeGukKiPride]

but improoved by korea

[effigyoflight]

You are stupid.

Cannons didnt even APPEAR in Europe until A Hungarian man had sold a few models he had made to Sultan Mehmet as he conquered Constantinople near the the end of the 14th century. Wanna know what that means....

Oh right.

Asia had it first. For roughly 400 years.

Japan was backwards until it received muskets from Portugal.

Japan had to steal cannons from Pusan in Korea to even Figure out hwo to make them correctly as teh portugese wouldnt sell them cannons.

And you have to learn to read, if you read c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y you will read that i haven´t said who was first, i have replied him that this wasn´t the first battle using cannons, and provided an example (europe).

And only for the sake of your formation, Constantinople was conquered in 1453 that is the 15th century, not 14th.

This is not a competition of who used it first.

Don´t be so susceptible and more important don´t insult.

Before Constantinople cannons were used in battle of Crézy(1346)and Reconquista(13th century) in Europe but as i said i didn´t post my comment to say who was first.

By the way you are mixing things, the answer was to the first NAVAL battle using cannons.

The first use of gunpowder with serious effect and in an important battle in europe seems to be in battle of Chioggia between Venetians and Genoese as naval siege engines in 1381.

Korea started the production of gunpowder between 1374-1376 (Choe Mu-Seon) and was first used in a naval battle in the battle of Jinpo (1380) against japanese pirates.
