Kwon Sang Woo is just too damn pretty. I'm sure it's a curse he doesn't mind bearing, what with the legion of female fans in Korea making him the region's most bankable star, but he does seem to be chafing a bit against the constraints of the rom-coms his looks have generally locked him in to throughout his career. It's not like the guy doesn't have talent. He's shown off his fighting skills in a few screen roles and his lead in the greatly under seen Once Upon A Time In High School demonstrated that he's got some serious acting chops as well. But the ladies love the rom-coms and so the rom-coms are what he gets offered, over and over and over again ... But much like Pitt seems to have done here after being cast as the Hollywood pretty boy for the early part of his career Kwon is now actively looking for roles that allow him to play against type and in his latest picture he stars as a hard edged gangster Chul-Jung in the melodramatic action noir A Destiny. Here's the synopsis:

Woo-min wants to get out from the gangster world. Do-wan wants desperately to be back with his girlfriend Mi-jin. The only thing Chul-jung cares about is his younger sister. These three friends plot to steal money meant for rival gang leader Doo-man and start new lives. Along with their leader Kang-sup, they follow through and succeed in taking the money.

But Chul-jung gets jealous of Kang-sup and Do-wan's trust and close relationship with Woo-min and eventually betrays his friends. They end up getting caught by Doo-man who takes revenge on them. Kang-sup gets his Achilles tendon cut and becomes disabled, Do-wan turns drug addict, and Woo-min takes responsibility for the crime after the police get involved and goes to jail. After two years, Woo-min gets released early on good behavior.

Woo-min decides to forgive Chul-jung's betrayal and get Kang-sup and Do-wan out of the gang with the money he left with Kang-sup two years earlier. But to his surprise, Kang-sup had lost all the money, Do-wan is struggling with a drug addiction, Chul-jung had turned worse, and Doo-man is set in having him in his gang. The more Woo-min tries to escape the more destiny chokes in on him and is left in despair, with no way out. Betrayal, conspiracy, and revenge surrounding these men get tangled in a turn for the worst.
