It could be good, it’s probably gonna be bad, but as I saw stated in another film forum upcoming Korean action flick A Destiny should be a hit with women and gay men all around the world thanks to the presence of mega-star Kwon Sang Woo, a man whose acting ability (he’s actually quite good) tends to be completely overlooked in favor of his abs.
Heh. It was interesting to see Kwon playing the villain. Now the full trailer is available and it looks to be veering entirely into guilty pleasure territory. The action is over the top as are the characters and it just looks like totally trashy fun.
Plot summary:
Woo-min wants to get out from the gangster world. Do-wan wants desperately to be back with his girlfriend Mi-jin. The only thing Chul-jung cares about is his younger sister. These three friends plot to steal money meant for rival gang leader Doo-man and start new lives. Along with their leader Kang-sup, they follow through and succeed in taking the money.
But Chul-jung gets jealous of Kang-sup and Do-wan’s trust and close relationship with Woo-min and eventually betrays his friends. They end up getting caught by Doo-man who takes revenge on them. Kang-sup gets his Achilles tendon cut and becomes disabled, Do-wan turns drug addict, and Woo-min takes responsibility for the crime after the police get involved and goes to jail. After two years, Woo-min gets released early on good behavior.
Woo-min decides to forgive Chul-jung’s betrayal and get Kang-sup and Do-wan out of the gang with the money he left with Kang-sup two years earlier. But to his surprise, Kang-sup had lost all the money, Do-wan is struggling with a drug addiction, Chul-jung had turned worse, and Doo-man is set in having him in his gang. The more Woo-min tries to escape the more destiny chokes in on him and is left in despair, with no way out. Betrayal, conspiracy, and revenge surrounding these men get tangled in a turn for the worst.
