The Assassin and the Mother: Two Worlds of Boksoon
It was refreshing to see a female protagonist in an action film portrayed as a ruthless and nonchalant killer, in a way that usually reserved for male lead characters in this genre.
By juxtaposing the two distinct worlds in Boksoon's life, the viewers are shown a powerful look at her divided life; from seeing her confidence and comfort in life threatening scenarios organized by a cut-throat assassin organization, to her struggles to truly understand and connect with her teenage daughter.
This journey to discover one's true identity added level of complexity to the narrative which elevated the action-packed story and made the overall viewing experience more engaging. This is a great watch for any fans of this genre.
