Is Drug King a bad movie? Absolutely not. I like it. But there was so much potential with the cast, the backing and the subject matter that's just not fulfilled. It's mostly just a bunch of cliches and messy sub-plots that aren't fully explored. I couldn't help but just see Scarface for the shootout towards the end either. Bae Doo Na working as a more darker, villinanous (although she's not really) character which is unique and something that the movie has going for it. Song Kang Ho is as solid and predicably entertaining as the lead as always. But Jo Jung Suk as the moral character is utterly forgettable. You'd have to read the casting list to remeber that he is in the movie.

The story is entertaining and easy to watch but that's not what you want from a movie of this calibre. Just give us more with the great actors casted.
