[ Production Note ]

Newly evolving Korean emotional action
“Action is also acting, not acting a lie!”
The action scenes in the movie are getting more and more splendid, thanks to the elaborately coordinated action, multiple cameras running at the same time, and meticulously calculated editing. However, <Fate> follows the character's emotional lines and presents an 'emotional action' that pursues reality by capturing the sincerity of the moment. The actors were also injured because they really hit, hit, and did not save their bodies, but with the passion of Song Seung-heon and Kwon Sang-woo, who did everything from high-level large-scale action scenes to body-to-body clashes without a set storyline, the passion of <Fatery> was added. > Your own true real emotional action has been completed.

Energy of scale and spectacle
“The moment you get emotional, the scale adds to the interest!”
If the harsh emotions of the back alley world in which the protagonists of <Fate Myung> live are alive in the story and characters, the colorful and colorful dynamism in that world is maximized through the spectacular pursuit and action sequences. The scale of the vehicle chase scene in which the entire six-lane road in front of Jeju City Hall is controlled and chased during the location shooting in Jeju Island, which took place for about a month, adds to the tension of the play. Also, the port trafficking site, the climax of the movie, was completed in a full week at the Suyeong Bay yacht in Busan. The port trafficking scene, which is also a scene where all the main characters collide again for different purposes, is a splendid attraction in <Sokmyung>, where motorcycles, dozens of extras, and vehicles are mobilized all over Suyeong Bay, such as on yachts and marinas. The powerful and dynamic camera movement and sensuous and sophisticated video will set it apart from the existing action movies and catch the eyes of the audience.
