LEE Byung-hun plays a has-been boxer who has an uneasy relationship with his handicapped younger brother (PARK Jung-min), a prodigiously talented piano player. Global superstar LEE, who last appeared in the financial crimes thriller Master and the drama A Single Rider, is next on screens later this month in the Joseon Era action drama The Fortress. Rising star PARK toiled away for years in well-received indies before breaking out in last year’s DONGJU: The Portrait of A Poet, which earned him several Best New Actor accolades in Korea.
YOUN Yuh-jung of The Bacchus Lady plays their mother while HAN Ji-min, last seen in KIM Jee-woon’s The Age of Shadows plays the younger brother’s helper, and KIM Sung-ryoung of The Target (2014) features as the brothers’ landlord.
