Recently, the Korean theater chain has finally become lively again. The adventure action movie “The Pirates: Goblin Flag” and the crime movie “Kingmaker” were released on the same schedule, which detonated the box office.
“The Pirates: Goblin Flag” topped the box-office chart and topped the Korean daily box-office chart upon release, while “Kingmaker” took second place.
Three days after its release, “Kingmaker” has accumulated 126,000 viewers. It is not very popular, but with its excellent reputation, the box office has gradually increased, and the daily box office proportion has risen from 19.2% to 21.6%.
Judging from word of mouth, “Kingmaker” is better than “The Pirates: Goblin Flag”. It is a ravely acclaimed Korean movie with a bold subject matter and a lively story.
On the Korean Naver platform, “Kingmaker” has an audience rating of 8.6 points, a media rating of 6.2 points, and a comprehensive rating of 8.2 points, showing an excellent reputation.
“Kingmaker” is written and directed by Sung-hyun Byun. The director’s film works are not many, but the films he directed have a good reputation. “My PS Partner” and “The Merciless” are both representative works of Sung-hyun Byun. .
The actors have assembled Kyung-gu Sol, Seon-gyun Lee, Jae-myung Yoo, Woo-jin Jo, etc. All of them are powerful, and the cast of the film is strong.
Whether it’s Kyung-gu Sol, Seon-gyun Lee, or Jae-myung Yoo, their performances are full of tension, and their acting skills are perfect. They have brought the overall level of “Kingmaker” to a new level. It’s a big point.
“Kingmaker” is based on the political stage and tells the story of the elections in South Korea in the 1970s and 1980s, based on real political events in South Korea.
Kyung-gu Sol plays Kim Woon-beom, an aspiring politician, while Seon-gyun Lee plays Seo Chang-dae, Kim Woon-beom’s election adviser.
Judging from the trailer, the dramatic conflict of “Kingmaker” is very strong, the atmosphere seems to be tense, and the relationship between Kim Woon-beom and Seo Chang-dae also has a complicated side.
“Kingmaker” is a Korean film with the best reputation in January 2022. Finally, I am looking forward to another excellent Korean film. This new film is not to be missed.
