They may have been taking a chance by

they may have been taking a chance by casting LEE MIN HO as the lead as this is his FIRST 'lead role' in a movie.. but... he does NOT disappoint.. even thru the violence, anger, and 'darkness' he shines. The movie itself is also very well done... it's dark.. raw... intensity fits well with the plot and the time period. MUST SEE in my opinion!

One of the better movies about political corruption

One of the better movies about political corruption and the korean mob or Kkangpae competing to land grab the section of Seoul which later becomes the Beverly Hills of SKorea from the perspective of two poor childhood friends working for competing gangs. Both male leads are very compelling.

South Korea, early-1970s. The government decides to redevelop

South Korea, early-1970s. The government decides to redevelop the Gangnam area south of Seoul, an area that is currently essentially a shanty town. This redevelopment will mean wealth for property owners and developers and corrupt politicians waste no time in feathering their nests. Also into this vacuum steps several criminal gangs, fighting over land, and often working on behalf of the politicians. Caught up in this is a resident of Gangnam, Jong-dae, who discovers that by joining one of the gangs he can pull himself up out of his poverty. Had heaps of potential. There are similarities with The Godfather - the turf war, the gangster connection, the unwilling civilian who becomes a crime lord, the sweeping scale of the drama. However, that's about where the similarities end. While The Godfather was a cinematic masterpiece, Gangnam Blues is mediocre. The biggest problem is that it is unfocussed. Writer-director Ha Yoo tries to cram in too many stories and sub-plots, minimizing engagement with individual characters and making the movie overly long and padded. Focusing on the lead character and keeping detours in the plot to a minimum would have made for a much better movie. On the plus side, the movie is quite gritty and the action scenes quite good. Reasonably entertaining, in spells.
