Compared to Hollywood, it was somewhat difficult to see series movies in Korea, because it was rare to plan a film franchise with a long-term view. Therefore Two Cops series by KANG Woo-suk was notable. The series, which is about a pair of senior and junior detectives with contradictory characters, produced three films with different actors since 1993. 

Whispering Corridors series starting from 1998 was one of a kind at home as well as abroad, because none of characters, actors and directors was repeated. The only thing in common is their concept as the horror movie set in a girls’ high school. Another one is that the series has always selected rookie directors and actors. Young directors including KIM Tae-yong, MIN Kyu-dong, PARK Ki-hyung and CHOI Equan made their debut through the series.

Now, there are more series movies in local theaters. Examples are Marrying the Mafia series about a gangster family’s noisy story and My Boss, My Hero series about gangs who build up their academic background at schools. Two Cops director KANG Woo-suk directed Public Enemy in 2002 and worked out well-made series again. Unconventional and arbitrary detective KANG Chul-joong (SUL Kyung-gu, who is a prosecutor in the second film, Another Public Enemy) is its main character.

When a movie is over, we used to wonder its characters would live happily ever after. Did Gyeon-woo meet her again or find a new love? Does KANG Chul-joong still take a nap in the office? So, it is always good to meet again those personas in a sequel of the films that we loved.
