The intense historical backdrop of "The Assassins" was so captivating! I totally loved the way they portrayed the drama of the 1974 assassination attempt, like, it really put you on the edge of your seat! But I gotta say, some of the character motivations felt a bit off to me, like they could've gone deeper instead of just focusing on the action sequences. Hur Jin-ho definitely has a knack for storytelling, but I wished for more character development. Did you have a favorite scene that really hit you emotionally?
