Pick Up Artist

The four male characters in this film don’t seem to have much in common: a college student who accidentally comes across a sex tape of his girlfriend, an unemployed man lives at the mercy of his wife. The third man lives with his ill mother and finally, Min Gi who works as a pick-up artist teaching seduction skills. The four men head to the flashy nightclub, leaving behind their life troubles.

Directed by Dohan Jun, Pick Up Artist leans on a strong ensemble — Park Yong-beom, Choi Ho-joong, Kim Yeong-tak — 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 drama titles of 2014.
