Politics aside ...
I absolutely recommend this political strategy movie. Learn the art of comeback with Jin-Woong.
Former collaborations were actually mutual exploitation. When facing the puppeteer behind the scenes, you need both overt pressure and covert negotiations for leverage in private discussions. Money exchanges, as everyone might know, often leave traces that can be used against you. However, people tend to be blinded by immediate gains and overlook defense. Jin-Woong's comeback is his deep understanding of the underworld's desires, indirectly leveraging them on so-called righteous government officials. The fake horse racing and real bribery scheme inside really opened up my imagination. If you enjoy exploring the darker sides of human nature or the concept of keeping your enemies closer, this movie will definitely resonate with you.
