A thrilling, exciting and gripping master piece by Park Hoon-jung. He has already given the world known thriller such as 'The Witch' as a director and 'I saw the devil' as a writer and this time with 'The Childe' he certainly has grasped the audience.
With the star cast of Kim Seon-ho, Kang Tae-joo, Kim Kang-woo and Go Ara this film has a huge audience of admirer.
In the film we can see jaw dropping acting of Kim Seon-ho, who is famous for lead role in Hometown cha cha and Start-up. Who has earlier played the character of and all-rounder village guy and strenuous investor but here he has shown a different persona in a psychotic Nobleman role. Even his fans are amused by seeing his completely different personality.
All in all, the film is Good watch and has potential of obtaining some awards and recognition. Giving 9 star from side.

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"

This is a unique and exciting action film that keeps you interested and guessing throughout. The story centers around a Korean/Filipino heir to a dying Korean billionaire's fortune. He needs money to save his mother's life and this leads him down a path to reunite with his father that makes him the subject of multiple groups of people trying to kill, or kidnap him. The movie is violent and funny, in spots. The acting, filmmaking, and Direction are good. Some of the flighty choreography is a little grainy for my taste, but still good. There is a strange appeal to the characters, even though they do really bad things. This is another great Korean film. In Korean with English Subtitles.
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 !
