All good reviews say Seobok leaves a lingering effect. Very true...I was pensive for a good full hour after watching it.

Hi cingu,

 

is it only me or this scene didn't make it to the movie ? Did I miss something ?

You are right! This didn't make in the movie. There were so many stills/scenes that didn't make in the editing. I think if those photos in the sns will be included, surely the movie will be at least three hour long. 

 

 

 

Little Seobokie/Bogummy

Kiyowo!!! 

 

He has the making of one handsome man just by his looks even during his childhood years.

Can't hide my excitement for the upcoming Wonderland movie of Bogum and Suzy.

@AnimusSunrays: I am guessing it's a BTS pic. By the way, PD Lee Yong Ju said in an interview that he thought of the Frankenstein character when writing the Seobok scenario. I remember you mentioned it in your review.

Oh really ? Frankenstein of Mary Shelley is one of the book that I had to read in the university for literature assignment. So I still remember every detail of it since we had to write analysis.  Indeed, Frankenstein created "the monster" out of his grief losing his mother. He was doing an experiment hoping that somehow one way or another he could bring back his mother again.

 

Frankenstein reminds me a lot with Seobok's mother. He didn't expect that "the monster" could have feelings and could have his own will / desire. The monster also question his position in human world and realized very early that he doesn't belong anywhere since human is afraid of him, so his only wish to Frankenstein is to create another creature so he could have friend to live with. The monster promised if he has friend like him, he will go somewhere out of human reach. It is a tragedy, and just like Seobok, "the monster" was chased because people think he is dangerous. Oh I really want to rewatch Seobok again.

"Seobok, a movie by Park Bo-gum, I was flinched by Bo-gum's strange eyes." - Gong Yoo

...

 

In fact, "Seobok" is Park Bo-gum's movie rather than Gong Yoo's. Park Bo-gum, who joined the military for his national defense duty after filming the film, unfortunately will not be able to promote "Seobok." Gong Yoo, who is conducting a press interview with director Lee Yong-joo without Park Bo-gum, said he felt Park Bo-gum's vacancy, but was busy praising him. This is because Park Bo-gum is called 'Seobok' and'Seobok' is called'Park Bo-gum'.

...

"Seobok is a complete Bogum movie." Well, everyone knows this now, but he's such a good and straight friend. So I was worried that it might not be fun. It's revealed in the drama, but I also flinched at Bo Gum's unfamiliar eyes. I can't wait to see how much more Bo Gum will grow after serving in the army. I'm so proud of the fact that Park Bo-gum grew up and that I also appeared in the movie.”

Top 25 Most Popular Korean Actors In The World

 

The South Korean entertainment content is the hottest new baby in the global industry. The rising popularity of Korean pop music, dramas, and movies is collectively referred to as the Hallyu wave. And trust us when we say that it has wholly engulfed us in its enormity too. Over the last decade, South Korea has dedicatedly carved a place for itself in the global entertainment industry.

 

From winning several Academy Awards in major categories to Grammy nominations, the Korean industry seems unstoppable! Today’s article will focus on the top 25 most popular Korean Actors in the world.

 

South Korean actors are very different from actors in other countries because they must take a 2-year long break in their career for their mandatory military service. This usually happens at the peak of their careers as most actors choose to settle and make a name for themselves before they serve their country to have some stable popularity to come back to.

 

An actor can delay their service only until they turn 28 years old. However, this has never caused a hindrance in any actor’s life as they have not only gained popularity in South Korea but have a massive fan following worldwide. Read on to find out more!

4. Park Bo Gum

 

Park Bo Gum is another young talented actor in South Korea. As we write this article, he is serving his mandatory time in the South Korean military. His latest television appearance was in Record of Youth in 2020.

 

Park Bo Gum’s worldwide popularity comes from Forbes naming him as the first Korean actor as a Korea Power Celebrity. He was also the youngest artist who was named Actor of the Year by Gallup Korea.

 

His other famous roles in Korean television were in the dramas Hello Monster, Reply 1988, and Love In The Moonlight. Some of Bo Gum’s most famous movie appearances were in A Hard Day and The Admiral: Roaring Currents. The latter was the highest-grossing Korean Movie of its time.

 

Park Bo Gum has also released several songs and one studio album called ‘Blue Bird.’

Movie review: Gong Yoo, Park Bo-gum add poignant touch to sci-fi 'Seobok'

Movie review: Gong Yoo, Park Bo-gum add poignant touch to sci-fi 'Seobok'
Fred Hawson

Seobok (Park Bo-gum) is the first and only successful prototype of a human clone whose genes were entirely modified through genetic manipulation, rendering him an undying being.

 

Named after a legendary servant seeking the elixir of immortality for his emperor, Seobok had bone marrow that produces stem cells with proteins which can cure any human disease. He also had brainwaves so strong that they can move objects around him when provoked.

 

When his developer was murdered, the specimen Seobok had to be protected at all costs. Min Ki-hun (Gong Yoo) is an ex-intelligence agent who had been called out of retirement to escort and ensure safe transport of Seobok to another facility.

 

When their convoy was ambushed by American soldiers, Min had to use his skills to get Seobok out alive and bring him to safety, while dealing with the crippling effects of his guilt and his brain tumor. 

 

As written by director Lee Yoong-ju, "Seobok" was about the developing relationship between these two men on the run from people who wanted the specimen for their own ends. Ki-hun was the gruff and jaded older brother who had to keep his innocent and curious little brother in line, as they try to gain each others trust.

 

The two lead actors both get into their characters with effective chemistry between them. While Gong went intense, Park shone in his restraint. 

 

 

Meanwhile, behind all this dramatic pursuit was the philosophical paradox of how death is what kept humanity alive and going as we know it now. As humans are the only species who are aware of their own mortality, fear of death gave life its meaning.

 

With immortality, humans would lose this drive, only fostering greed. Ki-hun and Seo Bok also argue about worthiness to live and the reasons why one wants to go on living. 

 

In true Korean cinema tradition, behind all its expensive-looking sci-fi special effects of the fancy hi-tech laboratory facilities as well as the violent displays of Seo Bok's powerful telekinetic abilities, "Seobok" is a thought-provoking personal and philosophical drama at heart.  (EXACTLY!!!) 

 

Hammy supporting actors aside, the film was carried by the magnetic performances of its two charismatic lead stars, making that concluding moment one of sheer poignance.
