Synopsis
The King of Pigs (2022) is a South Korean crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Two boys were ground down by bullies all through school — and twenty years later that damage comes back as a string of brutal murders.
Kyung-min (Kim Sung-kyu) sends old classmates grisly photos, then kills them off one by one. On the case is Jung Jong-suk (Kim Dong-wook), a detective who once shared a desk — and the same hell — with the man he's hunting. The closer he gets, the plainer it becomes that the two of them grew out of the same cruelty and simply broke in different directions.
The series springs from Yeon Sang-ho's cult 2011 animated film and keeps its bleak nerve — less a manhunt than a study of what childhood helplessness does to a person. It's harsh and offers no comforting way out, so it won't be your cozy night in, but it stays with you. Stream The King of Pigs online on iFILM.
