About Poongsan
Poongsan has the unenviable - and death-defying - job of delivering messages across the North and South Korean border to separated families. When South Korean government agents ask him to smuggle in In-ok, the lover of a high-ranking North Korean defector, into the South, the damsel and rescuer fall in love instead.
Directed by Juhn Jai-hong, Poongsan leans on a strong ensemble — Yoon Kye-sang, Kim Gyu-ri, Kim Jong-soo — 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 2011.
