'Don't think.... feel!"
Sure, that's easy to say. But feel what? And does the master even want to teach you how? That's probably the question Jae Hee will ask himself in 싸움의 기술 (The Art of Fighting), the latest action comedy to hit Korean shores. You're probably familiar with the young actor, especially if you watched Kim Ki-Duk's 빈집 (3-Iron), but it's the master who makes this an instant source of interest: none other than Mr. Coolness, Baek Yoon-Shik. With memorable roles in gems like 지구를 지켜라 (Save The Green Planet), 범죄의 재구성 (The Big Swindle) and 그때 그사람들 (The President's Last Bang), the veteran actor has turned his career upside down. Going from the veteran who always stole the show to the star who RUNS the show, Baek has become one of the most sought after actors in Korea.
Director Shin Han-Sol debuts here, but all the teasers and previews make this seem like a surefire hit. The wait is almost over, as this potential gem will hit theaters on January 5. Let's look at the trailer:
