A Movie That Director Park Chan-Wook Has Worked on for the past 5 Years,
Even Before his success with "Joint Security Area"

"JSA" broke Korean box office records and changed the concept of the blockbuster forever. Winning special attention around the world and establishing itself as a modern-day Korean classic, "JSA" embraced the hopes of everyone in a divided Korea and portrayed humanism in the face of war. "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" is a script that Director Park Chan-wook has been working on since even before he made "JSA", and it presents the viewer with a sharp look at reality represented by kidnapping, violence, and murder.
"Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" promises a more intense experience in a totally different style.

Song Kang-ho, Shin Ha-kyun, Bae Doona
Shocking Transformations Expected to Sweep the Screen

Song Kang-ho and Shin Ha-kyun, who contributed to the success of "JSA", join forces again in "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance".
They have firmly established their skill in acting on the stage, but "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" provides a special challenge.
They will have to completely free themselves from the images they have portrayed so far and embrace new characters. Song Kang-ho trades in his trademark image of innocence-filled humanity for intense eyes and a cruel heartlessness.
Shin Ha-kyun tries his hand at playing dumb, with no lines apart from his usual friendly smile. Joining these two powerful actors will be new generation heroine Bae Doona.
Acclaimed for her acting in "Barking Dogs Never Bite," she transforms into the femme fatale in "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" and will furnish proof of her great potential.
Song Kang-ho, Shin Ha-kyun, Bae Doona. 2002. Expect the screen to be exclusively theirs.
