	Korean Movie Review \| Sisily 2km (2004) Chang Jung Lim, Oh-jung Kwon
		Song Yi here's a lot you can do with a horror film spoof, especially with all the Asian horror films flooding the market, with their cookie cutter formulas, derivative plotlines, and obsession with ghosts with long dark hair that likes to appear in bathroom mirrors.
		Before the ghost (Yi Shin, a veteran of two ghost movies, "Whispering Corridors" and the recent "The Ghost" aka "Dead Friend") finally bothers to show up for longer than a second, "Sisily 2km" plays out as a gangster comedy, with all the usual conventions you'll find in the genre.
		Yi Shin's ghost turns out to not be all that scary; or, as Yang Yi confesses, she's rather pretty, except for those freaky eyes of hers, especially when she tilts them in a certain angle.

	Joseon Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the beginning of his reign, Yi Seonggye, now King Taejo, intended to continue use of the name Goryeo for the state he ruled and simply change the royal line of descent to his own, thus maintaining the facade of continuing the 400 year-old Goryeo tradition.
		When it became clear that Yi Bang-weon was the most worthy successor to the throne, Jeong Do-jeon used his influence on the king to convince him that the wisest choice would be in the son that Taejo loved most, not the son that Taejo felt was best for the kingdom.
		Meanwhile, Yi Bang-weon, not in the least discouraged by the fact that his elder brother held the throne, began plotting to be invested as Royal Prince Successor Brother, the traditional title for brothers appointed as heir-presumptives to the throne when the incumbent had no issue.
