New Record

So-Jin, who is training for the physical fitness test for police recruitment, is being stalked by a man, but she cannot find a strong means of confronting the situation. Meanwhile, Hyeon-Sook, who lives in the same apartment complex of So-jin, cannot get away from her violent husband. They work out in a schoolyard for their own respective reasons.

Directed by Heo Ji-eun, Lee Kyoung-ho, New Record leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Tae-kyung — 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 2018.
