JANG Cheol-soo is called “the best find of 2010” with just one film, <Bedevilled>. The movie generated a buzz at the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival’s non-official
International Critics' Week competition, and subsequently won applause from both the audience and critics when it was release in Korea. The movie’s leading actress, [SEO Yeong-hee], who had often appeared in many thrillers and historical dramas on TV in roles that face undeserving death, took matters in her own hands and waves a sickle around to avenge the abuses committed against to her in <Bedevilled>. Considering the social and cinematic context of this movie, it can be said that [SEO Yeong-hee] was in a ritual of redressing the grievances of all the female victims who crumbled helplessly to their demise in a plethora of male-oriented thriller flicks. JANG Cheol-soo worked on [KIM Ki-duk]’s <Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring> and <Samaritan Girl> as an assistant director. JANG next embarked on his commercial debut, the big screen adaptation of the enormously popular webcomic Secretly Greatly. Featuring idol stars KIM Soo-hyun, PARK Ki-woong and LEE Hyun-woo, the North Korean spy film was a big hit in the spring of 2013, proving particularly popular among younger viewers.
