Gangster sagas have always found favour within South Korean cinema, with the industry giving us several classics in the sub-genre over the years. Almost every major male superstar from the country, and even some females ones, have played gangsters in celluloid, often to resounding box-office and critical success. In the case of Song Kang-ho, one of the most well-known faces from the country, he has played mobster three times so far. Though 1997’s “No. 3”, where he played an oddball hitman, was the feature that he earned a name for himself with and 2011’s “Hindsight” was a lukewarm production which saw his mob boss within a female assassin’s crosshairs and heart, it was Han Jae-rim’s second feature, “The Show Must Go On”, which saw most success, earning itself the Best Film award and Song a Best Actor award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.
