In the month of November 2018, the box-office juggernaut that is Ma Dong-seok had two films featuring him in the leading role in Korean cinemas. Both the films went on to score a high number of admissions at the box-office combined but the more successful of the two was clearly director Kim Min-ho’s “Unstoppable”.
“Unstoppable” screened at Udine Far East Film Festival
Dong-chul is a polite, meek fishmonger who tries to hit the big time with various business opportunities that eventually go bust, losing a lot of money on the way for Dong-chul, much to the annoyance of his beautiful wife Ji-soo. One evening, while trying to convince her that a new opportunity in the fishing industry with the supply of King Crabs is the one that will finally click for them, Dong-chul’s car is rear-ended by that of Gi-tae, a human trafficker who deals exclusively in Korean women...

“Swing Kids” is screening at Florence Korea Film Fest
His ‘dance operation’ at the beginning seems a hopeless ragtag bunch: Byung-sam (Oh Jung-se), a Korean prisoner who believes that media exposure will help him reunite with his missing wife during the war; Xiao Fang (Kim Min-ho), a shy beefy dancer from the Communist Chinese Army, and Pan-rae (Park Hye-soo), opportunity seeker in the ravage of the war refugee town.

If you only see one Korean War tap-dance musical this year, well, you’re probably watching “Swing Kids.” A brash, busy and often bizarre genre mashup from South Korean blockbuster merchant Kang Hyeong-Cheol, this far-fetched tale of an African-American G.I. finding terpsichorean kinship with a group of Asian misfits in a Pow camp brings a bit of “Footloose”-style pep to an otherwise bloodily solemn anti-war tragedy. Yet while Kang’s film skips along in engaging fashion for its first hour — cheerful anachronisms and all — a pile-up of clashing tones and foggy subplotting combine to put lead weights on its tap shoes. With charismatic K-pop star Do Kyung-soo (better known as D.O.) among the leads, “Swing Kids” should give the director another domestic hit, but international audiences may find it a tad overlong and overworked.
