The movie 'The Scion' starring actor Kim Seon-ho and his screen debut will be released today. Expectations are high that 'Scion' by Park Hoon-jung, who has a clear color, will be able to stand out in the stagnant Korean film market and fulfill its role.
Director Park Hoon-jeong has created her own genre with the movie 'New World', which opened a new horizon for Korean crime noir, and the 'Witch' series with new female characters and creative action. 'The Scion' is determined to captivate the audience with the chase and reversal story in which various characters intertwine. It features fast-paced development, intense action, and an attractive combination of characters that blur the line between good and evil.
In particular, it is evaluated that the surprise reversal in the second half, the humor that bursts at unexpected moments, and the delightful ending added to the popularity.
Kim Seon-ho, who plays the title role as well as the role of the mysterious pursuer 'Scion', makes his screen debut through this movie. Kim Seon-ho, who has been loved for his good and pleasant acting, tried a perfect image transformation in this work. In addition, it will capture attention with action acting that does not buy itself, such as shooting, firearms, and wire action. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Seon-ho will be able to show his presence on the screen.
In addition, Kang Tae-joo, who broke through the high competition rate of 1980:1, built the body of a boxer in a month and a half of training, and directly digested high-level action acting, raising the level of immersion in the play. In addition, it is expected that he will emerge as a new face in Chungmoo by performing delicate emotional acting that is 100% assimilated to the character of Kopino Marco.
It is a 'Scion' equipped with a mise-en-scène through spectacular actions such as car chasing, gun action, wire, boxing, bare-body action, and various locations such as Thailand with exotic scenery, Gokseong and Jangseong in Jeollanam-do, and Jeju Island. Running, rolling, jumping, constantly chasing, and the action climax exploding in the second half is expected to be the highlight of 'The Scion'.
'Scion' is determined to present a comprehensive gift set to the audience through various genres such as thrill, humor, and action. Taking over the baton of 'Criminal City 3', which is looking to break the 10 million mark by mobilizing 9 million viewers, the key is whether 'The Scion' can keep its pride as a Korean film.
