The Burning Sun

Baekmin, who practiced martial arts for his father's vengeance, comes to Busan for his enemies. Baekmin will only follow his martial arts skills. Sung Man was the grandmother of his brother, Chang, the enemy whom Baekmin found. But knowing that their purpose was to kill her nephew, she found out that she was the daughter of an enemy who had already died. She complains that her uncle, the chief executive, is trying to kill herself by exploiting her inheritance. Baekmin regrets the fateful years he has lived to pay for his enemies, and decides to fight for his aunt. He is angry at all sorts of things going on around money, and he takes care of the chief executive officer and leaves for a new life.

Directed by Bang Soon-deok, The Burning Sun leans on a strong ensemble — Song Kyung-chul, Seong Mi-jin, Kim Kyoung Ju — 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 1990.
