Korean Trailers Trailers

Trailer for Upcoming Korean Film “The Negotiation” by Lee Jong-suk

South Korea hasn't really done an exciting hostage film so far. Here to change that is hit-making production house JK Films (“Haeundae“, “Ode To My Father“, “The Himalayas), whose latest film “” pits popular actors and against each other in a game of cat-and-mouse.

Synopsis

Not much is known about the plot at the moment, except that it is a criminal thriller movie about a kidnapper and a negotiator whose superior has been kidnapped.

Hyun Bin, who was last seen in the conman drama “The Swindlers“, stars in his first negative role as the kidnapper while Son Ye-jin, who last appeared in the romantic melodrama “Be With You“, plays the lead negotiator trying to secure the release of the hostages from the kidnapper's clutches. Directed by Lee Jong-suk, who has previously worked as an assistant director on JK Films's hugely popular “Ode to My Father“, “The Negotiation” also stars supporting actors extraordinaire  (“Hope“, “The Tiger: An Old Hunter's Tale“) and (“Hansel and Gretel“, “Confidential Assignment“). It will be released in South Korea in September, 2018.

Rhythm Zaveri

Hello, my name is Rhythm Zaveri. For as long as I can remember, I've been watching movies, but my introduction to Asian cinema was old rental VHS copies of Bruce Lee films and some Shaw Bros. martial arts extravaganzas. But my interest in the cinema of the region really deepened when I was at university and got access to a massive range of VHS and DVDs of classic Japanese and Chinese titles in the library, and there has been no turning back since.

An avid collector of physical media, I would say Korean cinema really is my first choice, but I'll watch anything that is south-east Asian. I started contributing to Asian Movie Pulse in 2018 to share my love for Asian cinema in the form of my writings.
