"Noryang: Deadly Sea," a movie about South Korea's legendary naval admiral, Yi Sun-sin, surpassed 1 million cumulative viewers on the fourth day of opening, Lotte Entertainment said Saturday, Azernews reports, citing Yonhap.

Director Kim Han-min's final installment of his trilogy about the admiral recounts the last naval battle between a retreating Japan and the allied forces of Joseon and the Ming dynasties that pursued them.
