Park Shin-hye’s next film is all sorts of creepy and confusing. Netflix is finally bringing “The Call” on streaming. It was supposed to be released earlier this year but got pushed back further into August. Since the situation didn’t get better, the filmmakers thought it would be great decision to release it by streaming sites and Netflix had all the rights for it. The movie is starring Park Shin-hye and Jeon Jong-seo. The Call marks the second movie this year for PSH to release on Netflix after #Alive.
The movie is based on a call that connects two women 20 years apart, where Shin-hye plays Seo-yoon the role of the one in the present year, Jong-seo portrays the character of a murderer Young-sook from 20 years ago. The call connects and as soon as that happens, they both get to know their weaknesses.
While Seo-yoon gets an opportunity to get her father back from dead as Young-sook can change the timeline from 20 years ago, Young-sook wants something in return. She figures out in the near future she is going to be convicted of crime and wants to change it with the help Seo-yoon.
All these time changing and life altering decisions have some consequences that both need to face and that will bring every fear and the fight to the forefront.
A gripping and mind-boggling tale just by the look from the trailer, “The Call” can definitely impress people.
But, as K-Dramas get more attention, Korean Films are targeted less and less. One of the most successful Korean Films of all time, that even ended up winning The Oscars, was Parasite. Even Parasite people started watching after it got nominated and won the award.
Though the Korean Film World is not struggling as it has some of the greatest artists, directors, producers in the field the movie world of theirs isn’t dull at all, even though K-Dramas steal the limelight. Korean Films have offered great pieces of art over the years and I believe it isn’t going anywhere.
With, “The Call” Park Shin-hye will have her 13th movie of her growing and magnificent career. The movie is directed and produced by Lee Chung-hyun.
The movie looks appealing at the first site and it’s not going to be an easy one to process, hope everything stays together and ends up getting all the success.
As an ardent and die-hard PSH fan, I just have to say, “Unnie, hwaiting!!”
