Detectives have their informant, a.k.a. ‘straw’, to arrest criminal organizations under investigation practices. Tae-bong is working as a straw in a smuggling office. Incompetent detective Nam-hyuk is using him to replace the sorrow of not having a string to pull. While doing his duty in the smuggling gang, an incident exposed Tae-bong’s identity. Without knowing his situation, Nam-hyuk is trying to steal the smuggled goods to turn his life around. But he is dragged into a mysterious crime as he enters another office by accident. At the brink of death, Tae-bong gets through the crisis by chance but loses all the money he has saved after being involved in the incident with Nam-hyuk… A cooperation begins between a detective and an informant, for Nam-hyuk to break the case and for Tae-bong to get his money back!
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
