Kim Hyeong-joon-I's "The Scent"
Forgive the convoluted headline. It just means that Kim Hyeong-joon-I, the director of No Mercy – a 2010 Korean thriller currently streaming on Netflix Instant in HD – is back with a new film. Titled The Scent, the movie is about a private investigator who faces a personal and professional crisis when his wife wants to leave him for another man and he’s framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Those aren’t problems you or I would like to have but, hey, this is what makes for compelling drama!
Over at Beyond Hollywood, you can catch the first batch of high-quality images from the film. The cast includes Park Hee-soon, Park Si-yeon, Joo Sang-wook, Kim Jeong-tae, Lee Han-wi, and Kwang Soo. Hopefully a trailer for The Scent is soon to follow. It’s in Korean theaters this April.
Beyond Hollywood has the trailer. No English subtitles but there’s plenty of humor, suspense, dangerous dames, and music with a serious 70’s-ish Shaft vibe.
Updates: Beyond Hollywood has two new stylish and sexy posters.
