Day 188 - Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (Korean)

"A Christian musical procession waits outside a prison for Lee Geum-ja (Lee Young-ae), a recently reformed female prisoner, who had been convicted of murdering a young schoolboy, Won-mo. The case, a national sensation because of her young age at the time of the murder and innocent appearance, earns her a lengthy prison sentence, reduced because of her apparent spiritual transformation in prison and her good conduct toward other inmates, results in the nickname of the "Kind-Hearted Geum-Ja". As Lee Geum-ja emerges from prison, she immediately sidesteps the procession, intent on revenge."

Lee Geum-ja was a truly interesting character, I enjoyed her grow as a character and to take her revenge. Choi-min sik was excellent as well as the bad guy, he appeared as the star in the second installment of the series with Lady Vengeance being the final film of the revenge trilogy. Lee Young-ae did a remarkable job as an actress in this film that I hope we can see her appear in another movie like this. I recommend this movie to old boy fans.
