We have always loved vigilantes in cinema. In world where justice is elusive, we often find solace when masked heroes emerge out of the darkness to summon a justice of their own definition. But their stance on morality often makes the actions of these ‘heores’ questionable. Here is a recommendation for you if you like vigilante thrillers. ‘The Killing Vote’ is a Korean series that came out in 2023 and is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
The show tells the story of Gaetal, an unknown figure who wears a dog mask and punishes criminals. He holds his own court and trial and asks the public what punishment the criminal deserves. If more than half agree for a death penalty, Dog Mask executes them. While his techniques bring many fans there are also some who do not like his ways.
The show is based on the webcomic ‘Kookminsahyungtopyo’ written by Eom Se-Yoon, which became very popular with young readers at the time of its release. There are thirteen episodes in the show and they are directed by Park Shin-Woo. ‘The Killing Vote’ stars actors like Park Hae-Jin, Park Sung-Wong, Lim JI-Yeon and more. The music is given by Koo Ja-Wan.
Enjoy your weekend with your loved ones and watch ‘The Killing Vote’ on Amazon Prime Video.
