Online Mystery Movie 'The Influence' Debuts

Lee Jae-gyoo's directorial debut "The Influence" was released this week through the internet. The three part film stars Lee Byung-hun fresh from his international exposure in Tran Ahn Hung's I Come with the Rain and blockbuster GI Joe. He appears alongside actress Han Chae-young who recently starred in "Good Morning President" (2009). The film also stars actors Jeon No-min, Kim Tae-woo ("The Naked Kitchen" 2008) and Cho Jae-hyun.

Although this is Lee Jae-gyoo's first directorial venture, he is well known in Korea after bringing hit dramas "Damo" and "Beethoven Virus" to the small screen. The movie, which also delves into the realms of fantasy, takes place over the period 1907 – 2010. The two actors play characters who share a love that spans the duration. Ultimately though, LEE's character will need to make a choice whether or not to keep a long held promise.

"The Influence", produced by Realize Pictures and Windsor Entertainment was released on the internet on the third of March.
