Program Note
Ok-joo (Jun Jong-seo) faces the sudden death of her one true friend, Min-hee (Park Yu-rim). A former bodyguard with unrivaled skills, Ok-joo embarks on a mission to find the villain, Choi Pro (Kim Ji-hun), who led Min-hee, once a promising ballerina, to her death. This marks the second feature from new director Lee Chung-hyun, who garnered attention with his short film Bargain and his feature film debut Call. Lead actor Jun Jong-seo, who also happens to be the director’s real-life partner, portrays a formidable female warrior, building upon her demonstrated ability to embody feisty characters. Accompanied by a punchy score by popular musician GRAY, stylish and exploratory cinematography, boldly designed spaces and colors, and intensely choreographed action scenes, this revenge drama offers an exhilarating and thought-provoking genre pleasure. (JUNG Hanseok)
