Rampant what, exactly, you may ask of the title for Yoon Jong-bin's upcoming Korean action film. Luckily the first teaser for the historical action epic is here to provide some possible answers. It could be rampant swords, for example. Or rampant cleavers. Or rampant angry bald headed men. Rampant arrows, perhaps. Rampant bamboo. But most likely rampant stabbings. That's the one I go for.
The year is 1859,
feudal Joseon is plagued with numerous natural disasters, poor harvest,
poverty, hunger and death. But the rich nobles are only concerned with
their own wealth and continue to exploit and persecute the poor. In this
dark period, KUNDO was a single shred of hope for the poor, an entity
which can be the subject of fear to unjust nobles. After killing poor
butcher Dolmuchi's mother and sister, millionaire Jo-yoon commands
absolute power over him. Clouded by vengeance, Dolmuchi is accepted as a
member of KUNDO, and unsheathes his sword for the weak.
Ha Jung-woo and Kang Dong-won star in what promises to be both a handsomely produced and very violent action epic. Check out the teaser below.
