Born between a Korean and a Filipino, Marco (Kang Tae-joo) lives in the Philippines. He takes good care of his ailing mother even while taking part in boxing matches for money and overexerting his body. The irresponsible Korean father does not show up. Meanwhile, a lawyer who is said to have been sent by his father visits and recommends that Marco go to Korea. It is an attitude closer to coercion than invitation, but Marco has no choice but to get on a plane to Korea when he hears that his father can pay for his mother’s surgery. Meanwhile, a contractor named ‘Scion’ (Kim Seon-ho) is pursuing Marco’s activities. He is a powerful man who overwhelms other contractors and is cold-blooded and shows no mercy. He continues the chase with Marco, eliminating anyone who tries to take him back to his father’s house. The nobles aren’t the only ones chasing after Marco. Isa Han (Kim Kang-woo), the second-generation conglomerate who is said to be Marco’s older brother, is also frantic to catch Marco. Unsure of what is happening to him, Marco hears the truth about himself and his father from Yoon-ju (Go A-ra), who saved him.
<신세계>, <마녀> It is a new work by director Park Hoon-jung, who directed the series. Director Park Hoon-jung’s specialty, bloody action, suspense that digs into the whole story, and so-called ‘romantic’ bromance are all combined. Like the title of the film, the pivotal role in directing the narrative and style of the film is the nobleman played by Kim Seon-ho. It is a double-edged character that shows a relaxed professional appearance while sticking to a neat suit and hairstyle, and then reveals a foolish and lax temper at some point. this duality <귀공자>It’s also the overall tone and manner of the song. First of all, as Marco, who has a taciturn and serious personality, is caught up in the center of the tragedy, a serious noir atmosphere flows throughout the play. However, whenever a situation is about to become serious, the humor and eccentricity of a nobleman or a director infiltrates the atmosphere of the work. <신세계>while lightly changing the heartlessness of <마녀>It borrows the same cartoon setting and derives a different balance. Some dialogues, situations, and actions show excessive schedule and lightness, but the stable production and consistent character comedy make up for the shortcomings.
The point is that Marco is a Copino, a mixed blood between Korean and Filipino. <귀공자>is the main setting of Pointing out the irrational reality inflicted on Kopino, it reveals the reality of perpetrators who commit inhumane secondary harm. Of course, the impatience to compress Kopino’s identity into a single quality can be seen from the gaze of the other, and the direct words and actions of discrimination appear without filtering. However, it is also possible to catch a glimpse of an attempt to expand the subject matter of the movie without stopping at consuming the material as a character setting. In particular, the face, expression, and movement of new actor Kang Tae-ju, who solidly completed Marco’s inner side and emotions, secures the character’s legitimacy.
Who am I? your friend.
The scion introduces himself as a ‘friend’ to Marco and other targets. At first glance, it seems like a meaningless joke, but in the second half of the film, the meaning of ‘friend’ expands its scope and leaves many aftertaste and questions.
CHECK POINT
<넘버 3> Director Song Neung-han, 1997
<귀공자>walks the line between noir and comedy. At some point, the balance between the two even shifts to comedy. In this attitude, while pursuing all kinds of vitality wearing a mask of comedy, he suddenly awakened a spleen and good sense. <넘버 3>comes to mind the case of Of course, pursuing a cool romantic noir <귀공자>and a Korean-style gangster with a strong determination <넘버 3>Although the surface of is different, the similarity is clear that violence was used as a subject matter and expressed in an erratic and fluid style.
