Synopsis
The King (2017) is a Korean crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Han Jae-rim follows a kid from nowhere who claws his way into a prosecutor's office and discovers that the law is just a costume real power wears.
Park Tae-su grew up with a criminal father and swore he would never be the one getting kicked around. A prosecutor's badge buys him a seat at the table where ministers and tycoons settle scores over dinner instead of in court. His mentor, the silky and ruthless Han Gang-sik, treats justice as currency to be spent. Jung Woo-sung, Jo In-sung and Bae Seong-woo trade smiles and threats as the alliances keep shifting.
The story sweeps across three decades of South Korean politics, from military rule to presidential downfalls, and plays like a glossy gangster epic about a country where prosecutors and power grew into one body. Best for fans of sharp, cynical satire dressed up as spectacle. Stream The King (2017) online on iFILM.
