Kill Boksoon is another amazing Korean film to be released on Netflix. Since it will make its world premiere at the 73rd International Film Festival in Berlin, it is sure to be a hit. In recent years, Korean films and dramas have established solid footings in international markets and won widespread acclaim. The director and cast of Kill Boksoon, from all appearances, will be welcome additions to the canon of excellent Korean entertainment already in existence.
It’s not only that there have been better thriller films released recently. Next to the horror genre, this one has experienced the most obvious progress in terms of plot, directing, and camerawork. Kill Boksoon’s cast and gory plot are meant to contribute to the genre’s ascent.
The released second trailer explicitly portrays Boksoon’s dual life as an ordinary mom and an A-list killer, showing strongly contrasting scenes of her grocery shopping to sharp transition into her life as an assassin backed by suspenseful and intense BGM.
Gil Boksoon using weapons from axes to long swords, glass cups, ropes, guns, etc., to fight her opponents provide a tease into the dynamic action sequence that will take place in the film.
Meanwhile, the appearance of characters Han Hee-sung (Koo Kyo-hwan), a killer who is unrecognized as an A-list, and Cha Min-hee (Esom), Cha Min-kyu’s younger sister and director of MK Ent, adds spice to the plot and doubles its tension.
The second poster revealed along with the trailer shows Gil Boksoon (Jeon Do-yeon) holding a bloody ax in one hand as if she had just completed “work” she had been commissioned to do, and on the other, a bag of groceries as if she had gone grocery shopping like any other loving mother. Gil Boksoon’s items that hint at her ‘double life,’ as seen from the second poster, spark curiosity about which path she’ll take as she stands at the crossroads of her career as a professional killer and her responsibilities as a mom.

Jeon Do-yeon portrays Gil Boksoon in Netflix’s Kill Boksoon. Famous Korean actress Do-yeon won the Best Actress award at the 60th Cannes Film Festival for her performance in Secret Sunshine. The actor was also the first Korean to win an award in this category at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. You are My Sunshine and Untold Scandal are only two of the movies where she shined. In addition to these, she also appeared in the 2021 suspense film Emergency Declaration, which premiered at Cannes that year.
Kill Boksoon has viewers worldwide focused with its star ensemble cast from Jeon Do-yeon to Sul Kyung-gu, Kim Si-A, Esom, and Koo Kyo-hwan. The production is spearheaded by Director Byun Sung-hyun known for his stylish directing, unrivaled character narrative, and solid storytelling.
In the movie, Koo Kyo-hwan, who is known for his role in Parasite, plays Gil Boksoon’s rival. Gil Boksoon’s bosses are played by E Som, who is known for his role in Samjin English Company Class, and Sul Kyung-gu, who is known for his role in Kingmaker. The actor Kang Soo-yeon is also in the movie, and he was in the Netflix movie Jung E, which came out in January. The actor Hwang Jung-min, who will be in Netflix’s Narco-Saints in 2022, will also have a cameo in the movie. Byung Sung Hyun is in charge of the movie. He is best known for making The Merciless and the political thriller Kingmaker, both of which came out in 2022.
Kill Boksoon unfolds only only on Netflix, on March 31st.

According to the streaming service, the serial killer uses his or her knowledge of the media to transform the case into a national spectacle, generating widespread interest and speculation. Award-winning actor Wu Kang-ren plays a no-nonsense prosecutor who is determined to solve the case but soon learns that everything is not as it seems. Meanwhile, the murderer routinely mocks law enforcement and the judicial system as he works to undermine social stability.
Wu Kang-ren plays a tough prosecutor on the hunt for a serial killer who knows how to use the media to his advantage. Producers Hank Tseng and Phil Tang, who have won multiple awards, are at the helm of this exciting show. According to Tseng, Copycat Killer depicts a story of how desires, when out of control, can cause evil to go viral in a city,” said Tseng. “We hope that the confluence and fluidity of good and evil in the series will be able to provide healing to our viewers in this world of madness, where a lot more can be done to help and support each other.”

While most crime stories focus on details of the cases, Copycat Killer casts a wider net. “We hope to portray more facets of each character and their thoughts and reflections within an intriguing narrative,” explained co-director Henri Chang, who earned six Golden Bell nominations for Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner. “While the story begins with ‘evil’ as we know it, there is a lot more to reflect on and take away from the series.”
