Netflix’s highly anticipated period film ‘Uprising’ has released its teaser, hinting at an epic showdown between friends turned foes. Starring Kang Dong Won and Park Jeong Min, the teaser explores the tumultuous times of the Japanese invasion of Korea. In the snippet, the duo, once inseparable friends, become arch-enemies as they battle destiny amidst an era of chaos.

On September 10, Netflix dropped the teaser for their upcoming historical film ‘Uprising’. Set in the Joseon era, it depicts how the Imjin War plunged Joseon into chaos. The trailer begins with Jong Ryeo (Park Jeong Min), the son of Joseon’s most powerful military family, and his servant Cheon Young (Kang Dong Won). They grow up together, nurturing a strong friendship. However, in the aftermath of the war, they face each other as enemies, wielding swords. Exuding fierceness, Jeong Min, dubbed the ‘Blue-Robed God’ in the film, declares, “A dog that bites his master must be put to death.”
