To start this thread off, I would like to share this very beautiful Steelbook from Korea - War Of The Arrows.

When sealed, I thought the quarter-slip was so well done that it fused magically with the cover artwork..

Turned out that the magic came from a transparent plastic J-card slip, with all the words printed on the slip. It is such a great idea, I wonder why no other Steelbooks adopt this..

The front cover details are marvelous. Look at the cut on the face, the inscriptions on the bow, and the red name seal at the lower right..

The back is clean..

The spine is neat and clean. Just the title words in Korean. No English translation at all on any part of the Steelbook..

The inside art is a painting of the hills where the main action takes place..

It is good to have steelbooks in various finishes. Some clean, some embossed/debossed, some gloss, some matte. I find that a very nice clean matte finish (such as this Steelbook's) has a better lasting appeal.

Not only is this a great looking Steelbook, the film itself is very good. And the soundtrack is wonderful. After watching the movie, I left the disc playing the menu screen for another half hour just to listen to the music.
