‘Broken’, which will be released on February 5th, is a story about Min-tae’s angry pursuit as he runs to the end to reveal the truth about that night when everything was intertwined, including his younger brother who returned as a corpse, his disappeared wife, and the best-selling novel that predicted the incident. .
Ha Jung-woo has been working with directors who are currently active in the film industry, including Yoon Jong-bin of ‘Unforgiven’, Na Hong-jin of ‘The Chaser’, and Kim Byeong-woo of ‘The Terror Live’.
Ha Jung-woo is attracting attention by joining hands with a new director again. He said he began to pay attention to director Kim Jin-hwang after watching his previous work, ‘Shepherds’, and said, “It felt like the hardest-boiled script I’ve ever received. Aside from Min-tae, I felt the raw fluttering of live fish from the characters around me who were immersed in the story.” “The way they survive while clashing with each other was itself the biggest attraction,” he said, explaining the reason for choosing the work.
Accordingly, expectations are high for what Ha Jung-woo, who has always discovered new charms and demonstrated fresh synergy in his works with new directors, will show when he meets director Kim Jin-hwang in ‘Broken’, and for the tenacious crime chase drama the two will create. It gets bigger.
Director Kim Jin-hwang won the Korean Film Directors Guild Award at the 20th Busan International Film Festival, the New Director Award at the 22nd Chunsa International Film Festival, and the 4th Wildflower through ‘The Shepherds’, which maximized suspense through in-depth exploration of the characters’ inner lives and detailed psychological descriptions. It won the Best Screenplay Award. As he has been recognized for his extraordinary writing and directing skills since his first feature-length directorial work, ‘Broken’ is expected to once again provide thrilling tension by depicting the hidden truth and the never-ending chase drama in silence.
Also, in ‘Broken’, Min-tae’s emotional pursuit of the truth becomes the main driving force of the play. Director Kim Jin-hwang set the tone and manner of this work coldly and rationally from the planning stage, and said, “Min-tae’s emotions, which gradually escalate toward the latter half, adjusted the level of emotion with actor Ha Jung-woo so that they could maximize their explosiveness near the end, creating the overall atmosphere.” “I made it,” he said, raising expectations for a fast-paced chase drama with nail-biting tension.
In addition, the story was densely filled with characters entangled in the truth. Director Kim Jin-hwang, who said, “I focused on how each character pursues Moon-young,” created a more three-dimensional story by composing various characters who run toward their own goals surrounding one truth. This is why the tense crime chase drama ‘Broken’ created by director Kim Jin-hwang, whose detailed directing skills have been proven in his previous works, and Ha Jung-woo, is attracting more attention.
