14 Must See “Korean Mafia” Films That Will Make Your Eyes Bleed

jbarky / July 30, 2012

Korean mafia is a staple of many Korean films. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause of love for organized crime is. In any culture organized crime is depicted as being “cool” and “macho” in many ways.

In the past, “Kim Doo Han” was a crime boss leader that actually did resist the Japanese annexation of South Korea, however his rise to power came after South Korea’s independence. “Kim Doo Han” and his story is constantly retold into different romanticized versions and he has become somewhat of a legend.

Often times the Korean Mafia is shown as being fiercely loyal, and there is a certain “culture” that is prevalent. (For example, having dragon tattoos, wearing suits, and speaking the Gyeongsang dialect) Most films have themes of friendship, loyalty, love, revenge, and betrayal.

Here are the must see 14 “Korean Mafia” films, enjoy the corruption!


Friend (2001)
If this list were titled “10 Mafia Films You Need to Watch Before You Die,” this movie would make that list. The film stars Jang Dong Gun, Yoo Oh Sung, Seo Tae Hwa, and Jeong Woon Taek. The story revolves around 4 friends and 2 of them who become Korean mobsters. “Friend” is probably the best “Korean Mafia” film of all-time.

The Nameless Gangster (2012)
Currently “The Nameless Gangster” is the most popular “Korean Mafia” film released as of late. The story is about a mafia boss and his distant uncle. Based in the 1980s the story is both realistic and the acting by Choi Min Sik and Ha Jung Woo is superb.

A Dirty Carnival (2006)
Jo In Sung plays “Byung-Doo” who is the No.2 man in a small time gang. He goes on a dangerous secret mission! If he succeeds he will be able to provide for his family which is made up by his mother and two younger siblings.

Hi girls, how are you doing? I hope you are well! Thanks so much lulua and kdramafanusa for posting recent news for us.

I love seeing this picture of Insung:

 
^^

I'm so glad that he has new CFs added on to his career. I think the financial commercial is a new one, right? Aside from others that he did? And so was the soju one. Cool. That means we get to see more of him....~~~ also he'll be in Shanghai? I hope they grab this opportunity to interview him, then it would  be so awesome. It is also so awesome we have you both here because I know his interviews (if any) will be translated. Yay!

Honest confession: I really want to see IS and his girlfriend stand side-by-side so I can see them and how much different they were when they first met each other. Um...hope we get to see them soon in the future together on newspaper/magazines. ^^

-edit-
I saw this video at Wiwi's site and it seemed like a radio talk show? Is it right or is it live from ONE interview? It's in Chinese, can someone please translate if it's something new? Thanks.

Sunshine: yes, this is his 7th CF this year.

People Life Financial Consulting
Lotte’s Cheoeum Cheorum soju

He'll be in Shanghai for both annual festivals: TV (6/14) and Film (6/15).
I'm looking forward to all the pics & coverages.


I don't know when we'll get to see him & Kim Min-hee together (probably not anytime soon), I think they'll look real good side-by-side though.  Here's a pic from one of the news articles in April (when the news broke out).


She (a fashion icon) is often chosen as the Best Dresser.  You can take a look at this clip about this year's Baeksang Arts Awards, she's picked as the best dresser; it shows some of her past red carpet looks as well. (starts at 7:45)

The fund will be spent mainly on film and TV drama projects.

Su Xiao, general manager of SMG Pictures, said that the company would be cooperating with Hollywood scriptwriters and producers to create stories for a global audience and more homegrown films and TV dramas would be distributed worldwide.

This news is rather long, but it is talking about the Shanghai TV and film fests that Insung will attend. Yay! I'm so happy he's going international now. <3

Curtain rises on TV and film fests in Shanghai



Shanghai Daily, June 9, 2013

The curtain rises next week on the best foreign and domestic film and TV productions in Shanghai's 19th Television Festival and the 16th International Film Festival.

The annual TV festival, which runs from June 10 to 14, and film fest, which run from 15 to 23, bring together filmmakers, actors, scriptwriters, producers and critics for discussions and workshops.

For fans of both the big and small screen, it is the time to spot stars, probably get their signatures, and view films that are being screened for the first time, or the only time, in the city.

Who will show up

Around 300 film celebrities and figures will show up at the opening ceremony on June 15 at Shanghai Culture Square. They include American film maker Oliver Stone, British director Tom Hooper, South Korean actor Jo In-sung, Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen and Taiwanese singer/actor Jay Chou.

Other guests include Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, film director and producer Johnnie To, mainland female director Li Shaohong and former Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Sid Ganis.

The list of Western celebrity actors is to be announced.

Viewers will be able to chat face-to-face with entertainment figures and can vote for their favorite TV series and actors at Sina.com.cn.

What to watch

During the TV festival, more than 80 recent and acclaimed shows will be screened on the Documentary Channel, Art Channel, Entertainment Channel and ICS. They include dramas, documentaries, animations and other films.

Among more than 1,000 entries, 48 productions have been nominated for the TV festival's Magnolia awards in TV film, documentary, drama and animation.

They include the mainland drama "Beijing Youths" about a group of young people and their love, friendship and coming of age.

The German nature documentary "The Green Universe" and British animation "Room on the Broom," based on a children's picture book, will be screened.

The five-day event includes the Shanghai Student Television Festival screening short videos by college students, the international film and TV marketing and animation pitch, and TV forums about challenges and opportunities in China's TV industry.

At the film festival, around 300 Chinese and foreign films will be screened. The opening film will be "Monsters University," a new 3D animated comedy produced by Pixar Animation Studios.

Films to be screened will include a range of genres.

Representative works of Olive Stone, Tom Hooper, Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu and Chinese director Tang Xiaodan will be screened. They include seven of Stone's films, including the award-winning "Platoon" (1986), "Wall Street" (1987) and "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989).

Suspense film fans can watch nine early and rarely screened silent films by British master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock.

The films have been restored and will be shown in Asia for the first time, some with live music.

All were filmed between 1925 and 1929, and demonstrate the evolution of Hitchcock's suspense style. They include his directorial debut "The Pleasure Garden," as well as "The Lodger," "The Ring," "Downhill," "The Farmer's Wife," "Easy Virtue," "Champagne," "The Manxman" and "Blackmail."

"Blackmail" was later re-shot by Hitchcock to include some snippets of dialogue.

It was the first sound film screened in the UK.

Additionally, nine films starring the late Hong Kong actor Leslie Cheung will be shown, including "Farewell, My Concubine," "Days of Being Wild" and "Rouge."

Acclaimed works to be screened include Kim Ki-duk's "Pieta," last year's Golden Lion winner, the Bertolucci film "Me and You," independent British thriller "Berberian Sound Studio," and India's Oscar-nominated film "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India."

The recent films are from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Thailand and other countries.

Where to watch

A total of 26 cinemas across the town will screen festival films.

The main venue of the film festival is at the Shanghai Film Art Center, 160 Xinhua Road.

Where to buy tickets

Ticket sales begin tomorrow at theaters, www.ticket2010.com and www.gewara.com. Tickets for each screening will be priced between 40 yuan (US$6.45) and 60 yuan. All will be screened in their original language with English and Chinese subtitles.

Information about the cinemas and screening schedules are available on www.siff.com (English service is available).

Judging from past festivals, tickets for some popular films always sell out quickly. So make sure to book early.

About the awards

The Golden Goblet (Jin Jue) Awards will be handed out on the last day.

Fourteen films have been selected from 1,655 movies from 112 countries and regions. They will compete in various categories for a Golden Goblet.

Nominated films include Canadian director Lenin Sivam's "A Gun & A Ring," Russian filmmaker Yury Bykov's "The Major" and South Korean director Kang Woo-suk's "Fists of Legend."

Three Chinese productions - "Amazing" by Sherwood Hu, "Unbeatable" by Dante Lam and "The Stolen Years" by Barbara Wong - will vie for the top prize.

The festival will include an Asian New Talent Award, a smartphone film festival and short film exhibition that recognize the power of new media.

About the jury

The film festival jury includes famous Chinese director Zhang Li; local scriptwriter Wang Liping; Yves Jeanneau, founder of France's Sunny Side of the Doc; and animation series producer Wong Kok-cheong from Singapore.

Oliver Stone, who judged the Golden Goblet Awards in 1993 at the first Shanghai International Film Festival, will receive an outstanding achievement award.

The 67-year-old director will take part in a master class and share his experience with Chinese directors.

The president of the seven-member judging panel will be Tom Hooper, British director of "The King's Speech.
