When not just absolutely adoring Korean films, or loving the way their domestic releases contain English subtitles, I also give credit to the fact their trailers are often very short and come out not long before the film’s release date. It makes for a much better atmosphere when viewing the film for the first time. Here we have the trailer for BLOOD AND TIES, the directorial debut of Guk Dong Suk. Guk has previously worked as an assistant director on a number of films, including the similarly themed VOICE OF A MURDERER.
BLOOD AND TIES looks at the relationship between father and daughter, after the daughter suspects her father of having been involved in a horrific kidnapping and murder case. An unsettling tale of suspicion, the film seems to have two very strong performances from its leads Son Ye Jin, who plays the suspicious daughter, and Kim Kap Soo. Kim is probably best known to western audiences for his roles in the Kim Jee Woon thrillers A TALE OF TWO SISTERS and I SAW THE DEVIL.
BLOOD AND TIES reaches South Korean cinemas on 24th October 2013. It stars Son Ye Jin, Kim Kap Soo, Lim Hyung Joon, Lee Gyu Hun, and Jo An.
