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"

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...
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.
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 !
