Song Joong Ki's latest crime thriller, Bogotá: City of the Lost, may not have fared well in South Korean theaters when it was released on Dec. 31, but it soared into Netflix's top ten charts and gained streaming success following its debut on Feb. 3. The film was a box office disaster, earning only $2.7 million on an $8.6 million budget, making it one of Song Joong Ki's lowest-grossing films.
Directed by Kim Seong Je, who previously worked on Blood Rain and No Blood, No Tears, Bogotá: City of the Lost takes place in the 1990s Colombia and follows Ji-hoon, a Korean immigrant who moves there in the hopes of starting a new life with his family. However, after a tragic incident, Ji-hoon is forced to partner with Jeon Su Yeong, played by Lee Hee Joon, to climb the ladder of the criminal empire and rule Bogotá's black market.

Bogota: City of the Lost begins with the impact of the 1997 Asian financial collapse. For Kook-hee and his family, this economic turmoil drives their escape from a disintegrating South Korea to Bogotá’s chaotic streets. The film establishes a cultural conflict that shapes the narrative. What emerges is an immigrant story intertwined with a tense, crime-driven drama where survival tests physical and moral limits.
The story explores ambition, betrayal, and global economic pressures. Kook-hee transforms from a timid newcomer to a significant figure in a Korean-run smuggling operation in Colombia. The narrative reveals power dynamics between characters and within Kook-hee’s internal struggles.
Loyalty becomes fragile as ethical boundaries blur, leading toward an inevitable confrontation. While the central plot follows a familiar trajectory of an underdog becoming a leader, the tension between Korean immigrant experiences and Colombian surroundings creates compelling dramatic depth.

I think it is safe to say that Netflix’s Bogota: City of the Lost didn’t live up to its potential, given how generic and risk-free the narrative is presented. South Korean crime dramas tend to be much more engaging, raw, and political in their portrayal of follies and vices, and Kim Seong-je’s latest venture wasn’t any of those things. As a result, despite having a good cast and premise and hence, the potential to make a better movie, the weak script renders the end product pretty forgettable.

K-dramas are known for their romantic, historical, and revenge-based storylines, but hidden in between the most popular genres are detective stories. The best detective K-dramas contain a well-written mystery that even its most attentive viewers won't be able to solve right away. Many detective series follow a similar formula in which its protagonists are compelled to return to crime-solving after leaving their jobs due to traumatic events. Such is the case in K-dramas like Hello Monster and Tell Me What You Saw.
Others in the genre, including He Is Psychometric and Inspector Koo, shake things up and include greater hints of comedy and romance than what is typically expected of a detective series. Regardless of how firmly a series adheres to the expectations of the genre, one thing is for sure: the best detective K-dramas keep audiences second-guessing their instincts until the last episode.

Post-apocalyptic fiction (particularly movies) have been making headlines in fiction and pop culture alike due to their versatility in going beyond dystopian aesthetics and wild action to lay bare the naked truth of the human condition in all its glory and disgrace. Its origin goes back to Mary Shelley's The Last Man, whose 1818 classic Frankenstein was the precursor to the science fiction genre. Time and again, these post-apocalyptic stories depicted the depravity of society in the face of adversity, where survival takes precedence over basic decency when faced with harsh realities. With South Korean films making their mark on world cinema, the country's film industry has been diversifying its stories and making a foray into themes commonly deployed in Hollywood movies. These movies' success comes not from mere imitation, but in the bold directions they choose to bring these familiar ideas.

Badland Hunters suffers from an over-reliance on Ma Dong-seok's popularity, resulting in underdeveloped storylines and characters. The film's fight scenes and practical effects save it from being a complete disappointment. The main antagonist, played by Lee Hee-joon, brings depth and charm to his character, making his storyline the most memorable part of the movie.
Standing as South Korean director Heo Myung-Haeng’s first full-length feature film, this cinematic foray into a dystopian world has seemed to suffer the same sort of fate that the catastrophic earthquake has brought to civilization in the movie – pockets of hope in a vast field of nothing meaningful.
Released on Jan. 26, 2024, Badland Hunters encompasses a lively cast such as Ma Dong-seok (better known as Don Lee) as Nam-san and his two younger counterparts, Lee Jun-young and Ahn Ji-hye as Choi Ji-wan and Lee Eun-ho, respectively. The three uncover a harrowing conspiracy around a new...

Stars: Ma Dong-seok, Lee Hee-joon, Lee Joon-young, No Jeong-ee, Ahn Ji-hye | Written by Kim Bo-Tong, Kwak Jae-Min | Directed by Heo Myeong Haeng
Badland Hunters is the latest film starring action hero Ma Dong-seok, and that is bad news for Korea. He was in Train to Busan in which the country was overrun with zombies, and in Ashfall where a massive volcanic eruption laid waste to the entire Korean Peninsula. And the amount of property damage he wracked up in The Outlaws and its sequels The Roundup and The Roundup: No Way Out would bankrupt most insurance companies.
In the opening scenes, Seoul is levelled by a catastrophic earthquake as the military are about to arrest Yang Gi-su for the murders and human experiments he’s committed trying to bring his daughter back from the dead. The building collapses on him, but you know he’ll be back later in the film.

Ma Dong-seok's incredible acting as Nam-san contributes to Badland Hunters' success and makes the ending satisfying. Lee Hee-joon's portrayal of Dr. Yang Gi-su and No Jeong-ee's performance as Han Su-na drive the plot and captivate audiences.

Badland Hunters Review: Concrete Utopia Sequel Takes An Entertaining Turn Towards Action and Zombies
Badland Hunters lacks the complexity and depth of its predecessor, Concrete Utopia. The action sequences in Badland Hunters are a major highlight, visually interesting and thrilling. While not a worthy successor to Concrete Utopia, Badland Hunters is an entertaining zombie action film.
Last year, Um Tae-hwa’s Concrete Utopia became a bona fide hit in South Korea and internationally. It was critically acclaimed, a festival darling, South Korea’s entry for Best International Feature at the Academy Awards, and it was in the top five highest-grossing films in Korea in 2023. The sequel to the film, Badland Hunters, takes an unexpected turn, focusing on the survivors on the outside, on the streets, among the rubble where a wayward doctor threatens to upend what little is left of humanity.

Badland Hunters is Netflix’s latest entry into the world of Korean cinema, and it makes for a gritty post-apocalyptic actioner featuring one of Korea’s biggest stars, Don Lee. However, there’s some confusion about whether it’s a sequel or not. Last year, one of Korea’s biggest blockbusters was Concrete Utopia. Critically acclaimed for its dystopian vision, that film was a tour de force for veteran lead actor Lee Byung-hun. It also won numerous Korean film awards and was South Korea’s entry for the Best International Feature Film category for this year’s Academy Awards. However, it did not make the shortlist.
Concrete Utopia is about a devastating earthquake that reduces Seoul to rubble. Everything is in ruins except the Imperial Palace Apartments. The apartment dwellers covet their resources and keep outsiders out, building a utopia lead by Yeong-tak (Lee). The film was lauded for its keen observations on power,...
