Dubbed as the Mission Impossible of Korean cinema with its all-star cast, TYPHOON was one of the most expensive movie ever made in Korea. Director Kwak Kyung-taek will premiere his brand new "director's cut" of the film at the upcoming VC Filmfest 2006 on May 6 in Los Angeles.
At the core of TYPHOON, South Korea¡¯s tragic story is mirrored in the conflict between Sin (played by heart throb JANG DONG-gun) a pirate, and Kang Se-jong (played by Lee Jung-jae), an elite naval officer. Sin harbors a seething sense of resentment and anger against the Korean Peninsula, while Kang Se-jong is conflicted by a sense of empathy and pity for his enemy. Neither friends nor foes, the two men are victims of the tragic history of Korea.
Kang Se-jong is tasked with the duty of defending his country against Sin. But his determination is tested when he learns of Sin¡¯s sad past from his elder sister Choi Myung-ju (played by Lee Mi-yeon). Sin has gone through life full of rage after being abandoned by both South and North Korea. He lives his life pent up with rage. The fact that two young people, both Koreans, have to draw their guns on each other creates further conflict.
The inevitable conflict between the two men mirrors the struggle between North and South Korea and the scars of a divided nation. Directed by one of South Korea¡¯s most renowned directors Kwak Kyang-taek, and starring a handsome and talented cast, TYPHOON is not a typical action blockbuster, but a tragic story rooted in the reality of a divided nation, a reality that is slipping from the memories of many people. Don't miss TYPHOON!
