The Childe

Can't believe my luck that I won tickets to a sneak preview of this movie and to be honest I like Kim seon ho as well so I was quite excited about it. But I went into the cinema not expecting anything, because I thought I had a good prediction of the storyline given the vibes of the trailer, probably some triad feud and some chaser and targets with money involved, but then I was not expecting the ending to have a twist like that!!!! And also I didn't know this was supposed to be a dark comedy? It was so hilarious at some parts, the entire cinema was roaring with laughter. I tot all the cast members did really well with the acting. It didn't feel draggy nor rushed to me as well. I saw one of the reviews mentioned the first part was redundant, but I tot overall it provided a very good build up to the climax at the end. Really really enjoyed the movie. Heard a lot of good reviews from the people around me while walking out of the cinema as well. Highly recommend 👍🏻

The story and the character of main casts such as actor Kim Kang Woo, Actor Kim Seon Ho, actress Go Ara, actor Kang Tae Ju are so interested. I love their performance ,especially actor Kim Seon Ho can acting and I felt he is so scary , mad, smart, cool, heart warming and comady. Thank you very much Park Hoon Jung PD Nim to choose actor Kim Seon Ho as Nobleman (Gwigongja) . I love and really enjoy movies "The Childe" and I will watch more times that I can . Great Jobs Team The Childe! I love action scenes of Kim Seon Ho is awesome. Team The Childe set the locations where filmed in Thailand made me surprise because feel like Philippine , some places I didn't know before and this is near my university and my home. Some places I know because the way I go to work and go home. Recommended "The Childe" Korean movies !

A hollywood style korean movie from director Park Hoon-jung, a black comedy one!

The strong element from this movie is the character, nobleman, he doesn't have a name, claiming himself as a PRO, sadistically kills people with a comedic side of him, joking, grinning, smirking, whistling

The plot is very easy to follow, if people not used to with director slow paced intro maybe will get bored, but it builds up really well in the second phase

The director try to tell a story about Kopino a person of mixed (Korean-Philippine) issue. How difficult it is to live when the Korean fathers leaving and stop contacting their children in the Philippine and no longer provide any support

Solid characters, a desperate one, double agent lady, a bad conglomerate, the comically hitman, witty dialog, chasing scene, blood, guns, lots of cars! You got everything in here, it's "professional"

Even when Park Hoon-jung doesn't create an excellent film with deep meaning and emotion, he still manages to entertain and bring something that we'll always remember.

Kim Seon-ho's character is fantastic. At first, we don't know what to expect, and we might even think he's just a side character, but he carries the entire film with his charisma, humor, and somewhat superhuman fight/gun skills. He also steals the show because Kang Tae-ju never manages to do something memorabel mostly due to the script he has in front of him for a character who should have been the main focus of this film, as everything revolves around him.

Apart from this significant issue, the film seems to prioritize the spectacle of its setpieces over any deep construction. I missed the artistic and emotional touch of Hoon-jung that we saw in "Night in Paradise" (probably my favorite of his), but even in terms of intrigue and complexity, it doesn't come close to what he achieved in "New World" or, I would even say, "V. I. P." (although I know that's not a consensus).

Nevertheless, there are excellent scenes that will stay in my memory, such as the executions of the informants or the entire impressive and over-the-top third act. I enjoyed the ending (yes, I'm a fan of plot twists, give me all of them!), the presence of some good feeling amidst it all, and that comical post-credits scene.

When it comes to the gangster flick the "NEW WORLD" director excels in this genre and his latest offering is unique with its character development thats well crafted and the plot is delicately woven with suspenseful moments... Kim seon-ho carries the whole movie single handedly with his swag and mannerism and his evil smile is on top notch to watchout... While Kang tae remains suttle and his emotional quotient adds flavour to the flick... Inspite of two strong characters Kang woo Keeps us focused with his thuggish and cunning act... From a good action car chase,bloodshed stunts and impressive gun shots this a complete package of typical gangster flick highly recommended...
