A fun and delightful pirate comedy flick

I had so much expectations with this because of the trailer which looked pretty well made with the special effects and the star studded lineup of Kang Ha Neul, Han Hyo Joo, Lee Kwang Soo, Se Hun and Chae Soo Bin. I am not a big fan of Pirate flicks but this one was a fun and a delightful watch packed with amazing physical comedy by Kang Ha Neul and fun back and forth dialogue between the characters which made it funny and effective. The special effects is both good and bad, the good part of the special effects is how they made the sea which for me was realistic and somewhat beautiful but let's be real here that some scenes especially in the animals the special effect was bad and jarring maybe I'm just used to high end special effects from western movies that's why when I see a bad CGI effect it bugs me but it didn't really made a big impact for me personally. The story is quite fast paced, which for some might not be their taste but for me it's ok here even though, I really wanted to see the whole world develop, the character backstories and the antagonist be more fleshed out. Making this a series maybe 6 or 8 episode would be a delight but as a movie, it's great as well. Kang Ha Neul is obviously the star of the movie, such a great actor but Han Hyo Joon, Chae Soo Bin and Kwang Soo was also funny and great as well. I wanted to see more of Se Hun, I think he was just used as eye candy in this film which I'm not complaining, his little romance with Chae Soo Bin was cute. This was a fast paced, funny film jump packed with great acting but with inconsistent CGI and a story not really well fleshed out due to fast pacing.
