November 22 - December 12, 2019
Han Suk-kyu stars as a career gangster who sets out to climb the ranks of organized crime in this wildly inventive blend of dark comedy, outrageously over-the-top violence, and millennial doomsday anxiety.
Tae-ju (Han Suk-kyu) is a career gangster who, frustrated by his position as the number three man in his outfit, sets out to climb the ranks of organized crime straight to the top. But first he’ll have to contend with a pesky prosecutor, a poet who’s sleeping with his wife, and a rival who’s got a particularly brutal way with an ashtray… Blending dark comedy, outrageously over-the-top violence, and millennial doomsday anxiety, this wildly inventive crime drama satire takes subversive aim at issues of power, nationalism, economic anxiety, and corruption within Korean society. Look out for appearances from future stars Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho in early supporting roles.
