NEW Slates Period Drama for December 17
The third feature from
The Showdown (2011) and
New World (2013) director
PARK Hoon-jung, the film tells the tale of the hunt for the last free tiger roaming the Korean peninsula in the early 19th century. The best hunter in Joseon, played by CHOI, is saddled with the difficult task that carries enormous symbolic ramifications for Korea’s honor during the Japanese colonial period.
Redhot following the all-time chart-topping performance of last summer’s and
Roaring Currents, for which his role as the legendary Admiral YI Sun-shin netted him a basket of acting accolades, anticipation is high for the next role of CHOI, who made his name in the past through modern classics such as
IM Kwon-taek’s
Chihwaseon (2002) and
PARK Chan-wook’s
Old Boy (2003).
