Fake

It will be the role of his life. Guen Bae (Lee Hyun Wook) has always had a talent for impersonating celebrities and transforming himself into different characters. But he can never live up to the standards of Guen Ho, his smart, older brother, so he runs away from home and finds success working as a disguise artist. One day when Guen Bae discovers Guen Ho’s dead body, his first instinct is to call the police. But a second thought comes to him that gives his meaningless life a new sense of direction and purpose. He decides to take on his brother’s identity as a police officer and track down his brother’s killer.

Directed by Tae Hyung-Lim, Fake leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Hyun-wook, Park Hyo-ju, Sean Dulake — 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 2017.
