BROKER (브로커)


UPDATE:


"Broker"(Korean: 브로커) is an upcoming South Korean drama film directed by HHirokazu Koreeda, starring Song Kang-ho, Bae Doona, Gang Dong-won, and Lee Ji-eun (screengrab via IMDb). "The film revolves around characters associated with baby boxes, which allow infants to be dropped off anonymously to be cared for by others.". (Wiki). Official release is scheduled for "June 8, 2022", while the film too had been selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.




I know of two films from director Hirokazu Koreeda - with 2004's "Nobody Knows", and one of my personal all-time-Top-Twenty Favourite Films Of All Time: "After life" / "Wandafuru raifu" from 1998. And I know this film'll somehow break my heart all over again, as the other two had :)

Lee Ji-eun is the full name for recording artist "IU", whose turn in "My Mister" Kdrama was the reason why I decided to follow dramas all over again, and have become a part of my life now. (Sorry but I love IU more, so...)

To say I am "keen to watch this", is an understatement. Scroll thru the two trailers posted below, for a "Bonus" Introduction to the film.

SYNOPSIS (on asianwiki.com): "A baby box is a small space, where parents can leave behind their babies anonymously. Sang-Hyun (Song Kang-Ho) finds new parents for a baby left in a baby box and makes a special deal with them. He calls himself a broker of good will. Sang-Hyun works with Dong-Soo (Gang Dong-Won) in this endeavor. They get involved with So-Young (IU), who placed her baby in the baby box, but has now come back for her baby. Meanwhile, Detective Soo-Jin (Bae Doo-Na) and Detective Lee (Lee Joo-Young) chase after Sang-Hyun and Dong-Soo."
