Korean Cinema’s action kid is back for a final punch! Known for his passion for Jackie Chan and Shaw Brothers films, Ryu Seung Wan, director of 2005’s Crying Fist, has shown over the years that he’s much more than a director of action flicks. Before moving on to other things, however, the young director is giving one last heartfelt salute to his beloved genre with The City of Violence, Ryu’s first and probably last pure action film.

The City of Violence marks the first full-fledged starring role for Korea’s best action director Jung Doo Hong, whose action choreography can be seen in many films including Taegukgi, Silmido, and No Blood No Tears. It also marks a return to acting for director Ryu since his masterful debut Die Bad in 2000.

After spending most of his adult life in Seoul, detective Tae Soo (Jung Doo Hong) returns to his hometown in Chungcheong Province to attend an old friend’s funeral. He meets some familiar faces, including Seok Hwan (Ryu Seung Wan) and Pil Ho (Lee Bum Soo from Forbidden Quest), who is now a very ambitious gangster. When he learns the details of his friend’s murder, Tae Soo teams up with Seok Hwan to find the culprit and bring him pain - Ryu Seung Wan style.

Director Lee Yoon Ki follows up the critical success of his assured debut This Charming Girl with a tale of heartache and isolation for three Koreans living abroad. Set in Los Angeles, a city made famous for its racial tensions and animosity towards outsiders, Love Talk introduces us to Su Nee, played by acclaimed television actress Bae Jong Ok (Prettier Than Flowers). She is the host of a late night radio program called Love Talk, on which she meets Young Shin (Park Jin Hee), a young woman with some deep emotional scars. Over time the two form a close bond with each other and become friends. Little do they realize though that Ji Suk, played by Antarctic Journal’s Park Hee Soon, is currently renting out the second floor apartment of Su Nee’s house. What is the problem, you might ask? Ji Suk just happens to be Young Shin’s ex-boyfriend, and the root of all her painful memories. So what will happen when these three people come face to face and are forced to face their pasts?

Thrilling action, political intrigue, and forbidden romance all light up the screen in this inventive detective story set during the Choson Dynasty! After a six year break from filmmaking, Lee Myung See, director of the seminal Korean action flick Nowhere to Hide, returns to the director’s chair once more for the elegant swordsman film Duelist.

Based on a novel, this beautiful period film centers on a tomboyish detective by the name of Nam Sun (Ha Ji Won, from Love So Divine and Phone) who ends up being assigned to investigate a case revolving around some counterfeit coins. Going deep undercover in a variety of diverse disguises, Nam Sun quickly finds herself chasing after a notorious assassin named Sad Eyes (Kang Dong Won, from Too Beautiful to Lie and Romance of Their Own), who just may be involved in the crime she’s investigating.

These two warriors from opposite ends of the law end up clashing time and time again, but with each passing encounter, they soon discover that they share a mutual respect and attraction for one another. Will a love affair bloom on the battlefield? While this is a high stakes game of cat and mouse for both of them, it seems that the hunter has clearly fallen for the prey. But is Sad Eyes somehow connected to the Minister of Defense’s plan to take over the country? If so, Nam Sun has only one choice, but to fulfill her duty. With an appearance by long-time actor Ahn Sung Ki in a supporting role, Lee Myung See’s Duelist is a stylish, visually stunning example of cinematic swordplay at its finest!

SSunday Seoul is an anthology of bizarre and humorous tales, strung together by the misadventures of two hapless heroes who seem blissfully unaware of their frequent brushes with the supernatural.

The first story, The Werewolf, follows high school student Do Yeon (Bong Tae Gyu), who suffers regular humiliation at the hands of school bullies. He is not a good student, nor a good fighter, and he’s even worse when it comes to the ladies. Do Yeon harbors a secret desire for the beautiful Ji Yeon (Ko Eun Ah), who sits in front of him in class - but has never had the courage to say anything. However, when he starts growing hair, claws and fangs, Do Yeon’s world begins to change - especially when his parents tell him he’s not the only one in the family ruled by the moon.

Proceedings take a dark and serious turn in The Visitor as a serial killer (Park Seong Bin) finds himself stranded on a pitch-black stormy night after his car breaks down. Seeking shelter, he ends up in a strange house, occupied by a family perhaps even more dangerous than him. But the light-heartedness returns for the final chapter, The Young Adventurer. Seeking revenge for the death of his father, a young man named Typhoon (Kim Su Hyeon) embarks on a journey to learn martial arts. This amusing episode deliberately plays on the formula of numerous kung fu movies from the 70s and 80s and features a number of knowing cameos.

Artist Name(s) : Bong Tae Gyu | Lee Chung Ah
Release Date : April 8, 2006
