The period drama powerhouse Hive media corp and director Heo Jin-ho's collaboration has generated high expectations for the film "Assassin(s)," which unveiled key points expected to captivate moviegoers this Chuseok.
"Assassin(s)" follows the investigation into the suspicions and backers behind the attempted assassination of the first lady on Aug. 15, 1974, an event that shocked Korea. We highlighted the points audiences must check out in theaters.
#1. A vast narrative that begins with modern Korea's greatest mystery The attempt on the first lady's life in 1974, which occurred during a live broadcast watched by the entire nation, sent shockwaves through Korean society at the time. The film adds cinematic imagination to unresolved mysteries behind an incident everyone thought they knew, resulting in a densely plotted mystery fiction. The clue-tracing process that excavates historical gaps will stimulate audiences' instinct to deduce.
#2. Yoo Hai Jin x Park Hae-il x Lee Minho, fierce pursuit amid a chain of suspicions Witnessing the shooting and rushing into the investigation is central precinct inspector Cheol-gu (played by Yoo Hai Jin); Director General Jae-hwan (played by Park Hae-il), who continues reporting amid an atmosphere eager to close the case quickly; and rookie reporter Young-il (played by Lee Minho), who witnessed the chaos up close. As the investigation digs deeper, entangled suspicions and the desperate chase will deliver unputdownable suspense.
#3. A turbulent era and quietly shining vocational duty Cheol-gu, who does not miss suspicious circumstances thanks to his instincts as an investigator; Jae-hwan and Young-il, who refuse to put down their pens despite harsh censorship and pressure; and their relentless determination deliver a weighty resonance. The explosive ensemble of Korea's leading dramatic actors vividly depicts the human sides of characters who uphold their beliefs and responsibilities.
The film "Assassin(s)", which showcases an overwhelming mystery and the intense acting chemistry of three actors, opens in theaters this Chuseok.
