About This DVD
If there's a Korean director dealing with how comedy can affect any genre with
the most unique of touches, that's certainly Jang Jin. When he debuted, his
theater roots showed probably a little too much in The Happenings. But as time
went on, Jang redrew the map of North-South-divide dramas (The Spy), gangster
films (Guns & Talks), thrillers (Murder, Take One), and particularly melodramas
with the memorable Someone Special. After the monstrous success of Welcome to
Dongmakgol, a film he produced and helped write, Jang is back to the directorial
chair with his latest effort, Righteous Ties.
Chi Sung (Jang regular Jung Jae Young of Welcome To Dongmakgol) was a legendary
gangster in Jeolla Province, but age and loyalty to the gang moved him to take
one for the boys, and he spent years in prison taking the blame for things he
never did. Once there, amongst a crowd of unusual inmates he finds old friend
Soon Tal (Ryu Seung Yong of Murder, Take One), and the two reconnect broken
ties. In the meantime Ju Joong (Jung Jun Ho of My Boss, My Teacher) rises the
ranks in the gang and ends up threatening Chi Sung's family. It's time for
revenge, as Chi Sung and Soon Tal plan an escape along with other inmates, to
show Ju Joong what Righteous Ties really means.
Jang Jin describes the film as an "honam noir", a Southwest Korean-style
gangster drama as opposed to the Southeastern flavor of Kwak Kyung Taek's Friend
or Choi Ho's Bloody Tie. Kinetic and hard-hitting, Righteous Ties features all
of Jang's regulars, like Jung Jae Young (who worked with him on all his films)
and Jung Jun Ho, who's starting to widen his range as an actor after years of
comedies.
