What Private Eye Is About

Korea under occupation at the start of the twentieth century. A medical student out looking for a body one night finds the corpse of a government official's son. He is afraid of being taken for the killer. Rather than go to the police he hires a private detective named Hong Jin-ho. The two of them set out after the real murderer, one working by science and the other by the street. What they turn up is considerably larger than a single killing. Park Dae-min directs, with Hwang Jung-min as Hong Jin-ho and Ryu Deok-hwan as the student. It is a detective story built inside a period setting, and the director's first film. The tone moves between comedy and thriller.
