Netflix's 'Seonsan' (director Min Hong-nam) revealed the key points to watch.
'Seonsan' is a story about a series of ominous events happening as one inherits a mountain left behind after the death of one's uncle, whom one had previously forgotten existed, and secrets related to it are revealed. This is the directorial debut of director Min Hong-nam, who worked with director Yeon Sang-ho as an assistant director on 'Train to Busan', 'Telekinesis', and 'Peninsula', and was planned and written by director Yeon Sang-ho of 'Train to Busan', 'Hell', and 'Jungi'.
1) The most Korean mystery thriller
What are the highlights of the movie ‘Seonsan’?
As director Yeon Sang-ho said, “If you are a Korean, you have probably heard of a family fighting over ‘Seonsan,’” Seonsan is a familiar entity that touches the roots of Koreans. It is expected to keep viewers occupied as they chase down the root of the unusual events that occur after the inheritance of the deceased.
Director Min Hong-nam said, "It is a work that drives tension with the eerie atmosphere of the picture itself and the anxious human emotions. It will be more interesting if it focuses on 'Who is the culprit?'" Director Yeon Sang-ho said, "Wherever it was thought to have been resolved, a new one was created." “It will be difficult to predict because the incident will bloom again,” he explained.
2) Universal message
What are the highlights of the movie ‘Seonsan’?
“A story about family, which is the foundation of humanity and is close to everyone.”
Director Yeon Sang-ho raises questions about “what is family, and is family love always beautiful?” through characters entangled in evil relationships and desires due to prenatal care. In addition, regarding the surprising truth related to prenatal care revealed at the end of the work, director Yeon Sang-ho said, "It is an extreme form of questioning about the twisted love of a family."
3) The acting synergy of Kim Hyun-joo, Ryu Kyung-soo, Park Hee-soon, and Park Byeong-eun
What are the highlights of the movie ‘Seonsan’?
Actress Kim Hyun-joo takes on the role of Yoon Seo-ha, a part-time university lecturer who is looking forward to being appointed as a professor, but becomes embroiled in an ominous incident when she inherits a prenatal inheritance following the sudden death of her uncle. Actor Ryu Kyung-soo plays Kim Young-ho, Seo-ha's half-brother, who threatens her by claiming that he too deserves to receive a prenatal care, and is a character that creates tension throughout.
Actor Park Hee-soon plays Choi Seong-jun, a detective with a keen investigative sense who intuits that a series of incidents are related to a prenatal inheritance and investigates them. Actor Park Byeong-eun plays the role of Park Sang-min, a detective who is Seong-jun's junior and has a love-hate and inferiority complex towards him. The acting synergy of the four actors is expected to be the driving force behind ‘Seonsan’.
‘Seonsan’ will be released on Netflix today (19th) at 5 PM.
