Daenam

Kang Hyeok, a world ranked professional boxer, is released from prison after serving time on a false accusation and searches for Director Hong, who reported him. Kang Hyeok is pursued by unknown men after returning home from the hands of Director Hong at the funeral of Daedong Group Chairman Hwang Dong-su. Kang Hyeok, who was falsely accused of murdering Mr. Park, who claimed to be the owner of an entertainment company, and was avoiding pursuit, meets Madame Q, who was betrayed by Chairman Hwang, and learns about Hwang Dong-soo's survival and the full story of the incident. He runs to the villa where he is hiding and urges Hwang Dong-su to turn himself in, but he threatens Su-jan and Kang-hyeok and plots to get them involved. Seo-jan and Kang-hyeok eventually crush their plot and confirm their love.

Directed by Kim Shi-hyeon, Daenam leans on a strong ensemble — Hwang In-shik, Min Bok-gi, Kim Ki-joo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1989.
