SUMMARY:
Raised as an aristocrat in 16th century Joseon, an era when class status dictated one's destiny, Hwang Jin-yi discovers a shocking secret about her birth. She therefore belongs to the lower class, and has no recourse but to give up her aristocratic status. As a gisaeng, Jin-yi becomes celebrated for her legendary beauty, wit, and talents in singing, dancing and poetry. But although she is surrounded by an entourage of noblemen showering her with gifts and admiration, she lives a solitary life of tragic isolation.

REVIEW:
Mmmm, for this review I think I shall divide and conquer it.
The Good
- Beautiful costumes. Kuddos to the costume department
- The actors all did pretty well...especially Song Hye-Kyo who played Hwang Jin Yi; so many emotions to portray. Also, I'm glad it took not only the character, but the actress too to go from the sheltered rich girl, to a gisaeng. The transformation they showed on the screen was very good and realistic.
- Nomi was a cutie, an idiot, but a cutie
- I'm glad that Old Woman stuck around, she was great.
- The setting was lovely.
- Loved the added romance that will never be. It broke my heart, but it was a nice add.
- The ending was okay, very symbolic. HOWEVER, I have mixed feelings about it (see in later section of review)
The Bad and the Ugly
- Had mixed feelings about the end....I hated a certain event that happened. NOT happy about that. *SPOILER ALERT* They had Nomi sacrifice himself for one of Hwang's servants who was arrested and was being tortured. Yes, it was nice, but they were going to probably let him go anyways. I was so mad that Nomi was executed. *END OF SPOILER*
- Some spots were really, really boring. Sometimes that happens.
- A couple spots I was rather confused on what was happening.
Conclusion
This was a nice movie. I liked it. Never watched a Historical Korean film, so it was a nice addition to my movie experiences. The acting was great. I was really into the movie, but ending left me with mixed feelings. I get why they did what they did. I do. I really do. However, it doesn't seem realistic in a way. In the end, though, I did like this film. I would recommend this to those that like Historical movies and ones with some major drama happening. I shall stamp this with....4 stars. It's more like 3.5, but I rounded like normal. Wow...I've been giving out a lot of 4 stars lately. hahaha.
Would I watch again:
Mmmm, perhaps not. It's one of those one-time watchers, in my opinion.

Favorite Character(s): Old Woman (funny and snarky and reminded me a little of my Grandma), Hwang Jin Yi (strong woman, who had to make a huge life change due to an uncovered lie), and Nomi (he was dumb and did something bad, but you can't but like the guy).
Not-so Favorite Character(s): Hee-Yeol (meh)

Defense against Chaturbate Token Hack and other sensitive
information
As the requirement for dependable and commanding security gains importance and
the principles and requirements set by the Payment Card Industry
progress to meet that need, the requirement for cutting edge resolutions will also
upsurge. As hackers find new ways to blunder tokens in a system like Chaturbate
Token Hack, fresh ways to safeguard sensitive information also
requires development.
The security flaunts that are used
Conventional security is showing its drawbacks and proving itself
to be inadequate in this digital age which are used in the
present scenario. This is becoming more and more obvious
as most people get more news about corporations that have been suffering from a hole
of some kind or the other regarding safety issues.
Often those firms have been under the fact that meek encryption is sufficient to defend sensitive token and
other data like credit card data on their own sites.
Unluckily, chaturbate token generator has lately become obvious that the concept is not true anymore.
In this scenario free chaturbate tokens are one of the most essential prospects of this tool.
Very frequently the data safety procedures are exploited
or inadequately managed, and hackers can get a grip over the encryption
secrets or find other glitches and cause serious destruction and obvious distress.
Credit card tokenization is swiftly flattering one of the finest
ways to contrivance proper safety and reach PCI obedience.
The procedure works in this way, like a credit card, a token or debit card or any other payment technique is used in a
money transaction, either on the web or any other electronic mean, and the original data is sent to the company which
actually provides the tokenization facilities.
One can get to know more about free chaturbate tokens in various websites.
Directly after, a randomized and unique number is produced and sent to the user.
This digit is considered as the token, is the solitary object
that needs to be kept in a system that is internal. Conversely, if one stocks private evidence on
their own system, they are the one liable for efficiently handling and constantly checking that information.
But that is not enough to detect any kind of suspicious
activity. Nobody can conclude that the hackers will not reach the
computer via electronic means. Besides if you need more information about chaturbate
token generator then do a little research from various sites.
Conclusion
Credit card tokenization was intended to help a user to remove those doubts of hacking.
A user should end keeping delicate information on their individual
system that may be a computer, laptop, a Smartphone or any other similar devices and transfer it to a system which is continuously as well as efficiently observed,
safe, and updated. This can reduce other chances of hacking which also includes Chaturbate Token Hack as no data
or sensitive information is kept on the user’s system.
