Monster detective Ma Seok-do is back! After smashing his way through Philippines and the Korean box office, he is back in Korea to smash the living daylights out of the bad guys in “The Roundup” director Lee Sang-yong’s followup to the ninth highest grossing Korean film of all time.
Synopsis
Detective Ma Seok-do joins a new crime investigation unit led by Jang Tae-soo and includes Detective Kim Man-jae. They go up against Joo Seong-cheol, who is the son of a powerful chaebol family. The Japanese yakuza are also involved in the case.
After the terrific negative turns by both Yoon Kye-sang and Son Suk-ku in the first two parts respectively, the responsibility of being at the brunt of Ma Dong-seok’s punches falls on Lee Joon-hyuk, who plays the big baddie Joo Seong-cheol this time round. Lee Beom-soo and Kim Min-jae make up the detective team as Jang Tae-soo and Kim Man-jae respectively.

Singer/Actor Rain Pulls Out Of X-Men: Dark Phoenix; Leaked Audition Tape Points To The Shi’ar Empire
Filming on X-Men: Dark Phoenix is due to commence next month, that much we know, but one cast member that allegedly won’t be involved whatsoever is Rain, the South Korean singer and actor who became linked with an undisclosed role in the 20th Century Fox tentpole earlier this year.
First reported by South Korean outlet JoongAng Ilbo – and relayed to us by Newsarama – a scheduling conflict has now forced Rain to exit Dark Phoneix altogether. Best known on these shores for his performances across Speed Racer, Ninja Assassin and The Prince, the news was initially revealed by fellow actor Lee Beom Soo, who’s set to star alongside Rain in the upcoming Korean thriller, Uhm Bok-dong. It’s scheduled to film throughout the course of the summer, thereby clashing with Fox’s own production plan for X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Not only that, but we understand that Rain is attached...

With the action comedy Hong Kil-dong’s Descendents, director Yong-ki Jeong (Once Upon a Time) takes on the masked (super) hero genre that has been ignored by South Korea’s film makers for quite some time now. Beom-su Lee plays an inconspicuous high school teacher who follows the trait of his ancestor, the legendary Robin Hood like hero Hong Kil-dong by committing spectacular break-ins at night. His nemesis (Su-ro Kim) is a cold blooded businessman who gains more and more power by bribing politicians. Si-yeong Lee (Ogamdo) acts as eye candy and the potential love interest.

Hong Kil-dong’s Descendents will open on November 26th across South Korea.
