    Loved it.

    This is a movie for a specific audience and with specific motifs.

    I just realized that I like very much these political dramas/thrillers. This is turning out to be one of my favorite genres to be quite honest!

    The backdoor intrigues, the corruption, bribery, the wittiness of the protagonist, the lust for power by the president, the need for the president's underlings to prove themselves, the protagonist's dilemmas - money or recognition and winning at all costs, all portrayed excellently in this movie.

    If you're into political movies, you'll get 2 hours of pure entertainment, not a single boring scene in this movie. I absolutely recommend it!

    A quite nice movie to watch at home only

    A fiction story which most people thought its real.

    The story is nice in most parts but some details still non-realistic and ignored by director and producers.

    Its not advisable to spend watching in cinema but rather good at home. I will not say the story is that very good (only above average) and I believe the production team can do better.

    Overall 7.6/10, still better than most Korean losily made movies and dramas eventhough some are progresing fast.

    There's hardly any true shadows in so much light

    King maker defines a milestone in it's genre that's both debatable and enlightening. It's a people's story, a story about ultimatums, betrayals and most importantly an unending struggle. Precision in all-round performances keep King Maker's integrity intact. It's work in drawing up a clear picture of the burdens that should be carried to the summit is easily lovable. Humans to become victors should uncompromisingly compromise , such a cruel game.
