[INTERVIEW] Lee Joon-ik turns to history to shed light on overlooked scholar of Joseon

“The Book of Fish” is the latest in director Lee Joon-ik's exploration of overlooked historical figures. In “The Throne” (2015), the master of period films shed light on the life of neglected Crown Prince Sado (1735-1762), who was deemed unworthy to rule and was locked inside a wooden chest and left to die by his own father, King Yeongjo.
