Directed by Lee Seok-hoon, The Pirates is a South Korean period adventure film that blends action, comedy, and fantasy. The story is set during the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, where a whale swallows the Ming Emperor's Seal of State, sparking a wild chase.
The plot follows Jang Sa-jung (played by Kim Nam-gil), a mountain bandit leader, and Yeo-wol (played by Son Ye-jin), a fearless pirate captain, as they compete to retrieve the royal seal and claim the reward. Their rivalry leads to unexpected alliances and thrilling adventures on the high seas.
The film is celebrated for its entertaining mix of humor, swashbuckling action, and stunning visuals. It was a box-office success in South Korea and even spawned a standalone sequel, The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure (2022).
