Like all good buddy-cop dynamics, both men have skills, are fiercely loyal to each other, and have a palpable affinity for the other. It is a surprise reveal which provides depth to the previous comic relief character.

In the first of several massive fights, his prowess is shown. As silly as Sung-ham seems to be, he turns out to be a skilled fighter for Yun Kyum. This humor keeps the otherwise slow beginning from bogging down. Their comedic timing is priceless, especially before the real action begins. These two men genuinely care for one another and have a long history. There is good chemistry between friends Yun Kyum(Kim Myung-min) and Sung-ham(Kim In-kwon) that reads as endearing as it is hysterical. It was nothing like I expected, but everything I needed in the middle of a global pandemic. To say I enjoyed it is an understatement.

He sends for rebellious ex-General Yun, who has been living an isolated life with his adopted daughter and second in command Sung. The King needs to determine if the citizens are scared by a real Monstrum or encouraged by a scheming Prime Minister. ShudderвЂ™s ever-growing list and focus on diversity, as well as classic movies give Monstrum a chance to be introduced to a Western audience.ДЄ plague has decimated the citizens, and if that isnвЂ™t enough, a monster is thought to be hunting humans. ItвЂ™s a shame they donвЂ™t get more recognition. Movies like Hagazussa and Luz were likely not heard of before Shudder. Those foreign films, genre-benders, and oddballs that donвЂ™t fit in mainstream horror libraries. Shudder has made a habit of seeking out those films that largely get ignored.
