English Title: Typhoon Korean Title: 태풍/Taepung Year: 2005 Country: Korea Running Time: 119 min Director: Kwak Gyeong Taek Genre: Action/Drama Rating: 8.8
It was better than I expected! It was not only a part for action but also a part for drama! It was a really tear dropper movie!
The opening was really straight to the point of the movie: action! The drama part in the second half of the movie did really a wonderful part of the relationship between the character! The ending was emotional but ... I don't know ... the flashback makes me just more emotional LOL
Many says that the drama part of the movie ruined the movie. But I just think its just the part we know the character better
I like the chemistry between the 2 main actors! One is black One is white! They weren't villain neither friends! Jang Dong Gun & Lee Jeong Jae did both a great job! I must say this is Jang Dong Gun's second movie for me! I saw him in Taegukgi before and he's really a excellent actor! I got another another movie of him @ home. Maybe I should give it a try ^^
The movie contains many languages: Korean, Russian, Thais, Chinese & English. Most of the movie was shoot in Thailand, Russia & South Korea

As a result, Sin fosters deep-rooted hatred and fury.
