The Korean film The Villagers is directed by Im Jin-sun for producer Seo Jong-hae and the screenplay is written by Im Jin-sun.
The line-up of actors and actresses is not overwhelming, there is Ma Dong-seok as Yeok Gi-cheol, Kim Sae-ron as Kang Yoo-jin, Lee Sang-yeob as Ji Sung, Jang Gwang as Ki-tae, Oh Hee-joon as Dong -soo, Jin Seon-kyu as Byung-doo, Shin Se-hwi as Han Soo-yeon. The Villagers movie trailer.
Storyline of the movie The Villagers
Yeok Gi-cheol, played by Ma Dong-seok, has just left his job as a boxing school instructor, he then moves to a relatively remote village and registers for a vacancy as a BK teacher at a female-only high school.
His job was mostly to collect SPP fees from late or unpaid students, until one day he saw bully activity on a girl who was carrying a missing persons poster.
It turns out that the student Kang Yoo-jin played by Kim Sae-ron is also included in the list of late paying SPP, and a name that turns out to be his friend Han Soo-yeon played by Shin Se-hwi who has "left home" for a long time.
Here lies the mystery, did Han Soo Yeon really leave home or was she kidnapped?
The thing that I have to give a thumbs up from The Villagers movie and many Korean movies in general is the many twists in one movie, it's like we are taken to the groove already knowing who is good and bad but then it is diverted with another twist even until the last minute, very interesting.
Poster Korean Movies The Villagers
That's my impression on the film that I initially underestimated with the simplicity of the plot that was developed at the beginning. But getting to the middle and towards the end of the plot twists a lot.
Kang Yoo-jin does not give up to keep looking for where his friend went, the first clue is a logo on the packaging of a match which after being traced is a night club. He was desperate to get in, luckily he was followed by the teacher Yeok Gi-cheol and saved from the gangsters.
The problem gets more complicated, when one of the young teachers who is still an intern at the same school turns out to be a pornography maniac, he installs a hidden camera in the women's toilet and manages to kidnap Kang Yoo Jin under the pretext of helping him find his friend.
The tension became more tense, when it was known that the young apprentice teacher was the son of the school principal, and this school principal was fighting in the local regent election.
There are a lot of things, finally, at the end we know that the perpetrator of Han Soo-yeon's murder is his own school principal. How is the story? one day when he felt he needed money, he joined as an entertainer in a cafe and the guest was the school principal.
He got a sick call from his grandmother, he meant to ask for permission to go home but it was not given, it turned out that he recognized the man as his school principal, not wanting his shame to be revealed he ordered his men to clean up and Han Soo Yeon mysteriously disappeared.
It was only revealed later, when Kang Yoo Jin was also considered dangerous for the school principal who was nominating the regent, he would be eliminated as well, the severity of his son getting involved again. The teacher Yeok Gi-cheol acts with a background as a boxing coach and athlete he managed to save his student.
His proximity to a young police officer who still upholds justice can finally reveal this scandal and mysterious murder. The film The Villagers, which aired on November 7, is one of the 7 Korean films released in November 2018 that are interesting to watch, along with Ode to the Goose (November 8), The Wrath (November 8), Unfinished (November 14), Happy Together ( November 15), Beautiful Days (November 21) and Unstoppable (November 22) which also stars Ma Dong Seok.
Overall, this movie is very good, recommended to watch especially for those of you who are fans of Ma Dong Seok. Happy watching.
