This is a rather enjoyable mid-60s Korean monster film, in which a Godzilla-like monster decides to give Tokyo a break for once and ravages Seoul, Korea (maybe the South Koreans would have cheered it on if it had attacked Pyongyang instead??? hmmm...). Anyway among the cast we have a young scientist / astronaut who along with his new wife and her annoying 8 year old brother, try to find a way to stop Yongary from flattening the better part of the capital.
The effects are quite low budget but passable for this genre of films. Whenever you see Yongary in a shot coming close to a large building or a bridge, you just know that structure has gotta go! Call it Yongary's plan for the urban renewal of Seoul. Yongary itself is quite obviously some guy in a rubber monster suit who had the joy of smashing his way through flimsy plaster-of-Paris building models.
If you go into the film with the understanding that this is a Korean Godzilla ripoff on a low budget, you will not be disappointed and you may enjoy it. Finally I wish to say that the character of Suna, played by actress Jeong-im Nam, was quite beautiful, especially in that red dress... wow
