Synopsis
Uncle Samsik (2024) is a South Korean drama series you can watch online on iFILM — the small-screen debut of Song Kang-ho, the star of Parasite.
It's the early 1960s, and Korea is still clawing its way back from war. Kim San comes home with an economics degree from the United States and a plan to turn the country into a real player on the world market. In his way stands a sharp operator everyone simply calls Uncle Samsik — a man short on scruples but long on the right contacts in every back room. Their alliance is unstable and dangerous from the first handshake.
Song Kang-ho, a Cannes best-actor winner, carries a television series for the first time, and his Uncle Samsik is as charming as he is frightening. Political maneuvering, the machinery behind power and the dirty deals of a coup-ridden decade make for a hard-edged period drama. Stream Uncle Samsik (2024) online on iFILM.
