Plot
In June 1592, one month after the sea battle at Sacheon, daimyo Wakisaka Yasuharu arrives at the Japanese naval base in Busan to take charge of the fleet and counter the threat posed by Joseon commander Yi Sun-sin. From some terrified survivors of the battle, he learns of a new, fully enclosed Joseon battleship which they have dubbed bokkaisen (after a sea monster from Japanese mythology) and mekurabune ("blind ship"). However, that engagement has revealed some critical flaws in its design, such as the fixed dragon head at its bow being prone to getting stuck after making a ramming attack, and its weaker flank armor. Wakisaka agrees to join forces with the rest of the Japanese navy to ensure a decisive success in their campaign to conquer Joseon and, from there on, Ming China.
At the Left Jeolla Navy base at Yeosu, Yi assembles the Joseon admirals for a conference about their upcoming naval operations. Won Gyun, commander of the Western Fleet, argues for a defensive stand rather than a preemptive strike, and after the Japanese sacking of Pyongyang and the king's flight to Uiju becomes public knowledge, other commanders begin to agree with him. After dreaming about his time as a cavalry general against the Jurchen, Yi devises a new strategy which he names "Crane Wing", a crescent-shaped formation designed to trap the enemy from three sides. He also gains the respect of Junsa, a samurai captured at Sacheon after he had wounded Yi with an arquebuse shot. However, after identifying and following one of his agents, a troop of Japanese spies discover Yi's base, free their imprisoned countrymen, damage the turtle ships with fire, and escape with their construction plans. Yi hurries to Suncheon to meet with the vessel's inventor, Na Dae-yong, who is working on an improved version, and declares that he will not use the turtle ships in the next battle, knowing that Wakisaka will discover and exploit their flaws.
After learning of Yi's intended strategy from the construction plans and Junsa's testimony, and upon receiving reinforcements from Katō Yoshiaki (Wakisaka's fiercest rival) and Kuki Yoshitaka with sturdier, armored ships and cannons, Wakisaka decides to go on a two-pronged offensive by land and sea against the Left Jeolla Navy headquarters. Two of Yi's spies, Lim Jun-young and Jeong Bo-reum, are discovered, whereupon Wakisaka expels Kato and Kuki from the alliance and seizes their ships and weapons before setting out to set an ambush for Yi at the strait of Gyeonnaeryang. While Lim escapes on his own, Junsa, who has finally switched his allegiances, helps Jeong deliver the news of Wakisaka's plans to Yi. He then tries to alert Jeonju, the fortress covering the land passage to the naval base, but is captured by members of Joseon's Righteous Army. Even though his warning is met with scepticism, Hwang Bak, the militia's commander, decides to secure the pass and invites Junsa to fight by his side.
Upon being informed of Wakisaka's movements, Yi decides to lure him into the open waters at nearby Hansan Island. When the Joseon fleet arrives at the strait, commanders Eo Yeong-dam and Lee Un-ryong act as bait; when that fails, Yi sets out with the whole fleet, prompting Wakisaka to attack. When Won Gyun's negligence grants the Japanese a breach to charge through, Yi deploys the turtle ships, which he has held in reserve on Na's insistence. After Wakisaka' forces disable them, Yi sends in the improved turtle ship, enabling Eo and Lee to rejoin their lines and complete the Crane Wing. Finally caught in Yi's trap, Wakisaka's fleet is shot to pieces. Wakisaka's last-ditch attempt to ram Yi's flagship is foiled by the new turtle ship, and he is wounded by an arrow from Yi as he abandons the ship. On land, the Righteous Army is reinforced and successfully holds the pass, though Hwang Bak dies in battle.
Following this, Yi continues his campaign for a while and attacks Angolpo and Busan, forcing the Japanese to suspend further naval operations, before retreating back to his base. One year later, Yi erects a new base on Hansan Island, the site of their greatest victory up to that date.

Production
Development
In 2013, while producing The Admiral: Roaring Currents, Big Stone Pictures revealed their plans to produce two more films related to Yi Sun-sin, titled Emergence of Hansan Dragon and Noryang: Deadly Sea as sequels, depending on the success of The Admiral.[20] Following the box office success of The Admiral which became the most-watched and highest-grossing film of all time in South Korea, production of the sequels was confirmed.[6]

Filming
Principal photography began on May 18, 2020.[21]
The naval battle scenes in the Hansan were shot using visual effects, unlike the previous film The Admiral which was actually filmed in a boat floating on the sea. VFX set for naval battle scenes was built at the Gangneung Speed Skating Stadium used for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. For scenes shot on land, a special set was built in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province.[22][23]
Post-production
Post-production took a year. Jeong Chul-min and Jeong Seong-jin served as VFX supervisors.[24]
During the naval battle scene in the latter part of the film, subtitles were added for Korean dialogues because they were not audible due to the sound effects and background music of the battle scenes.[25] This received favorable reactions from the audience and generally positive reviews from the critics.[26][27]

Critical response
Writing for Yonhap News, Shim Sun-ah described the film as "a visually spectacular, intriguing prequel of naval epic" with "fast-paced, punchy account of the historical information" and "breathtaking and thrilling scenes."[42] Kim Nara in her review for My Daily appreciated Park Hae-il's portrayal of Yi Sun-sin and cinematic experience of 51-minute naval battle.[43] Choi Tami writing for Maeil Business stated that with clear characters, themes and spectacular naval battle, Hansan has progressed one step compared to The Admiral, and praised the performance of Park Hae-il and other actors.[44] No Cut News' Choi Young-joo called the naval battle "overwhelming not only visually but also aurally" and praised the director for preserving the realism of the war.[45] In her review for Sports Chosun, Jo Ji-young wrote that the recreation of the turtle ship captured the viewers' hearts to the point where the fear Japanese military experienced after seeing the turtle ship was transmitted to the screen. Jo also praised the direction of Kim Han-min who made up for shortcomings of the previous work (The Admiral), and the performance of Park Hae-il and Byun Yo-han.[46] Song Kyung-won writing for Cine21, appreciated the technical perfection that realistically reproduced the current of the sea satisfactorily and the recreation of turtle ship, adding that the dragon mentioned in the title can be either Yi Sun-sin himself or the turtle ship[N 1] which plays an important role in the battle. Concluding, Song described the film as a "gigantic mirror that reflects the history."[47] Kang Nae-ri in her review for YTN, appreciated the Park Hae-il's portrayal of "a leader who struggles day and night to save Joseon" and Byun Yo-han performance which maintained the tension until the end, and stated that the appearance of the turtle ship "brought excitement and exhilaration to the audience".[48] Critics found it interesting that the film is told from the perspective of the Japanese invaders, not letting audience become fully aware of tactics of the Joseon army.[49][44]
