Overview

The Hunt (Korean: 사냥; RR: Sanyang) is a 2016 South Korean action thriller directed by Lee Woo-cheol, written by Cheon Jin-woo, and starring Cho Jin-woong and Ahn Sung-ki. The film was launched by Lotte Entertainment, South Korea’s second largest film conglomerate, in March 2016. It was produced by Kim Han-min, the director of The Admiral: Roaring Currents, the biggest film ever at the Korean box office. Most of the filming for The Hunt took place in a mountainous region of Paju in Gyeonggi Province, which contains military bases; the crew had to obtain permissions from more than 10 military units prior to filming. Because of the emphasis on hunting and guns, the actors also had to finish a basic firearms course and practice at shooting ranges. Plot When Dong-geun leads a group of armed men to mine newfound gold in a remote mountain area, the group comes into conflict with an old woman, who claims that her sons owns the land and the gold. The woman is killed during the argument; her granddaughter Kim Yang-soon and local hunter Moon Ki-sung subsequently get caught up in the conflict, with Dong-geun commanding the gold seekers to flush out the witnesses and Moon using his hunting skills to protect his neighbors. Moon, the only survivor of a mining accident that left him traumatized and isolated, often remembers the dying wish from a fellow miner to protect Yang-soon, the miner's daughter. The remainder of the story focuses on the deadly cat-and-mouse game between Moon and the gang. Cast Cho Jin-woong as Park Dong-geun and Myeong (twin brothers) Ahn Sung-ki as Moon Ki-sung Han Ye-ri as Kim Yang-soon Ye Soo-jung as Yang-soon's grandmother Jin Seon-kyu as Yang-soon's father Son Hyun-joo as Detective Son Shim Yi-young as Lee Geum-Ja Kwon Yul as Maeng Joon-Ho Park Byung-eun as Kwak Jong-Pil Han Jae-young as Kim Chang-Sik Kim Yoon-sung as Son Ki-Wook Jo Dae-hee as Lee Pil-Ho Cha Soon-bae as Choi Byung-Soon Shin Dong-mi as Moon Jung-Sook Yang Seo-yeon as Yang-Soon (young) Lee Sang-Hwa as Young-Soo Lee Hae-young as Moon Dae-guk Heo Joon-seok as Police Corporal Kim
