Kang Hyeok, a world ranked professional boxer, is released from prison after serving time on a false accusation and searches for Director Hong, who reported him. Kang Hyeok is pursued by unknown men after returning home from the hands of Director Hong at the funeral of Daedong Group Chairman Hwang Dong-su. Kang Hyeok, who was falsely accused of murdering Mr. Park, who claimed to be the owner of an entertainment company, and was avoiding pursuit, meets Madame Q, who was betrayed by Chairman Hwang, and learns about Hwang Dong-soo's survival and the full story of the incident. He runs to the villa where he is hiding and urges Hwang Dong-su to turn himself in, but he threatens Su-jan and Kang-hyeok and plots to get them involved. Seo-jan and Kang-hyeok eventually crush their plot and confirm their love.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
