5th republic (HD)

5th Republic is a controversial political drama about the Fifth Republic of South Korea, one of the most turbulent times in modern Korean history. Seventeen former politicians and key aides of Chun's (including Chang Se-dong, his former chief-of-staff; Hur Hwa-pyong, lawmaker; Jeong Ho-yong, former Army Chief of Staff; and Lee Hak-bong, former vice director of the Korea Central Intelligence Agency) attempted to halt the drama in pre-production, and failing that, sent a statement to the producers with claims of historical distortion and threatened legal action unless the was changed. The production refused, with producer-director Im Tae-woo saying that they tried their best to maintain objectivity by basing their on historical records and information that they collected for three years, such as Supreme Court rulings, and other hearing documents and news reports at that time.
