Under the Sun

One day, his mother who had sacrificed everything to a church to cure his elder brother's illness, kills herself. His good-for-nothing father has long been out of the picture, evading debtors. Siwan, left alone, goes to a provincial town and finds a young but revered minister of the church who has hidden himself in a small internet cafe. Siwan intends to avenge his mother himself but it's far from easy.

Directed by Ahn Seul-gi, Under the Sun leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Ho-won, Shin Yeon-woo, Kim Ga Hyun — 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 2015.
