Korean Trailers Trailers

Trailer for Upcoming Korean Film “The Divine Fury” by Jason Kim

In 2017, one-film-old director made the buddy-cop action-comedy “Midnight Runners”. Starring Kang Ha-neul and in his first on-screen leading role, the anticipation for the film was lukewarm, with its trailers evidently targeting the female audience by showcasing its good-looking leading pair of actors. The film surprised at the box-office and went on to become the 4th highest-grossing film of 2017, freeing Park Seo-joon from the shackles of small screen dramas. While a sequel to the film is rumoured, the next project that both Park Seo-joon and Jason Kim join forces for instead is the action adventure film “”.

Synopsis

When he was a child, Yong-Hoo's father died in an accident. Yong-Hoo has distrusted and resented people since then. Now, Yong-Hoo is champion in martial arts. He meets Father Ahn. Father Ahn is also an exorcist. They get involved in a case and gaining divine powers, Yong-hoo must help Father Ahn fight a powerful evil.

Jason Kim, directing off his own script, has this time paired Park with veteran actor (“Revivre”, “Silmido”), who plays the role of Father Ahn. The film also stars Woo Do-hwan (“Master”, “Operation Chromite”) and features in-demand young actor Choi Woo-sik (“Train to Busan“, “The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion“) in a special appearance. It releases in South Korea in July, 2019.

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.
