  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Black House" + DVD Giveaway
  2016/11/26
  Joon-oh (played by Hwang Jung-min) is an insurance agent still reeling from childhood trauma. At home life with his girlfriend Mi-na (played by Kim Seo-hyung) is pretty much all right, but alas, Joon-oh is kind of dumb and fails to properly take to heart the first rule of insurance claim adjusting- never tells clients details about your actual life.

  2012/10/20
  Film: "Runway Cop"   Director: Shin Terra  Screenplay: Ko Yeong-jae Stars: Kang Ji-hwan, Sung Yu-ri, Lee Soo-hyuk, Kim Young-kwang  Review Score: 3.5 / 5 Also Try: "Spy" and "Miss Conspirator" Shin Terrae previous film "My Girlfriend is an Agent" pulled in over 4 million admissions back in early 2009, enough to more than triple what his second film "Black House" made two years before. Sin's latest film "Runway Cop" continues in the light manner of his previous film but this time Korean audiences were not as obliging and forthcoming with their support. Regardless of what are actually quite decent figures (1.3 million admissions to be fair), "Runway Cop" hits more than it misfires as the cast pulled-off the film's slapstick style, much to my enjoyment and surprise,...More
