Grendel

A famous psychology professor was killed under the motif of the murder game in the novel. But a young writer Han Joon conceals the killer for immediate success. As a result, Han Joon, the original author of the novel, is swept away by media and public opinion due to copycat crimes, and his life is turned upside down by sudden success. A month later, Han-jun received a threatening letter from Nuance that Han-jun knew the secret of Han-jun with a photo of the mysterious woman murdered, and Han-jun met the woman in the photo with Jeong-hyun, a young woman who helped him succeed.

Directed by Yun Han-min, Grendel leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Tae-hyeon, Kim Ka-eun, Yun Han-min — 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 mystery titles of 2017.
