"Kill Boksoon" is the latest Netflix release that had us all glued to our TV screens over the weekend. This K-Film is about a single mother by day and stone cold killer by night. Gil BokSoon works for a killing agency. As she comes upon her contract renewal and negotiations, she gets into a kill-or-be-killed face-off.
The film stars seasoned actors such as Sul KyungGu, Jeon DoYeon, Esom, and Koo KyoHwan. It also stars some of the brightest rising actors such as Lee Yeon and Kim ShiAh.
Naturally, given the exciting plot and amazing cast, the film is receiving global attention. As such, we've compiled a list of 3 things we loved about the Netflix K-Film "Kill Boksoon".
1. Jeon DoYeon's Strong Female Character
Granted Jeon DoYeon's character does some ethically questionable work... However, if we put morals aside, her character is just plain cool. We love an empowered female lead whose regarded as the best in her field and whom no one can hold a candle to. She portrayed her character with the poise and distinction fitting of the role whilst being a total badass, too. Not to mention that her fight scenes were really well choreographed and executed. Additionally, the way that she created a balance between the emotions of being a cold killer and being a concerned mother was exceptionally done.
2. The Overall Phenomenal Acting From the Cast
As phenomenal as Jeon DoYeon's acting was, we have to give the rest of the cast their flowers, too. From the rising actors Kim ShiAh and Lee Yeon, to the seasoned veterans like Sul KyungGu, Esom, and Hwang JungMin (who made a cameo appearance in the film's opening scene), each actor pulled their character off as if they were souls from past lives. Their chemistry and the character dynamics truly added to the plot, paying off as one of the movie's strongest suits. It's always a pleasure to watch anything where the actors take their craft and storytelling seriously.
3. Lee JaeWook's Cameo Role
Lee JaeWook also made a cameo appearance in "Kill Boksoon". His cameo in a role as a villain was truly a shock to the system in the best way. Firstly, he pulled the role off so well from his demeanor to his way of speaking. It definitely gave one the chills. Secondly, it foreshadowed future roles as a villain. We need to see Lee JaeWook in a lead role as a villain ASAP. His transformation from previous characters (like the latest adorable Jang Uk) was so convincing that we can't imagine what he could do with more screen time for such a portrayal.
