Duelist

형사 ‧ Movie ‧ 2005
Rare kind of movies where every scene, almost every frame can be standalone artwork, with lighting, colors, composition brought to perfection, but not realistic, more theatrical and dreamy. Not everyone can appreciate this style, that's how art is, but those who do, will know what I mean.
Also remind me of Tarsem Singh's early works, while the atmosphere and style is clearly different, if you like this kind of artistic movies, might worth giving a try if haven't seen them yet.

Kang Bok Gu is a tough guy and a K-1 Fighter. Bok Gu is a character who is dynamic in nature and grew up in a foster home. He falls in love with a woman whom he should not love. It was because of the woman, his emotionally-wounded brother fell off from the rooftop and became a nursing case. So, his love is forbidden and inevitably tragic.
The woman is Cha Eun Seok, who is a TV talent and movie actress. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eun Seok grows more and more burning.
By becoming Cha Eun Seok's private bodyguard, Bok Gu keeps concretely practicing his revenge upon her. He only desires 'to bring his brother's woman to her knees. He is gradually taking Cha Eun Seok to destruction while he feels his love toward her growing deeper and deeper in his heart.
Bok Gu is a cold guy character without any special concern for women. The martial art of hand-to-hand fighting was just kind of his escape he chose from the shock of a spinster's death whom he loved from a distance.
