When the police discover a dismembered body near a river, they ask from coroner Kang, one of the leaders in the field to assist them in ascertaining the cause of death. Coincidently, Min, a former student of Kang’s, is also part of the police team investigating the crime. Every piece of evidence they discover points toward the extremist environmentalist Lee and the case seems to close when he is arrested. However, things become complicated when Kang’s daughter is kidnapped.

Exclusive: Sales company has bought the films from Korean animation studio Meditation With A Pencil.
Seoul-based sales agent Mirovision has picked up the Era trilogy from leading independent Korean animation studio Meditation With A Pencil, headed by directors Ahn Jae-hoon and Han Hye-jin of Green Days and The Road Called Life.
“Since the very start of Meditation With A Pencil, buyers have always remarked on the sensibilities of their stories and now the studio is expanding on their style, themes and subject matter, we expect they will be competing with the likes of Mamoru Hosoda and Makoto Shinkai in the post-Ghibli era,” says Mirovision head Jason Chae.
The Era trilogy started with coming-of-age fantasy animation Green Days (2011) - which screened at the Busan and Shanghai film festivals - representing the past.
The “present” part of the trilogy, A Thousand Years Together is a fantasy drama that was showcased last year at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival...

There’s a new Korean chiller headed our way called No Mercy. Written and directed by first-timer Kim Hyeong-Joon and starring Hye-jin Han, Seung-beom Ryu, Kyung-gu Sol and Ji-ru Sung the film goes like this.
Synopsis:
Hidden in the bushes along the river bank, a woman’s body is found severed into six parts. Homicide forensics expert Kang is called into investigation, eventually arresting environmentalist fanatic Lee as the main suspect.
Meanwhile, Kang heads to the airport to pick up his daughter who hasn’t been back in Korea for 10 years. A stranger, supposedly ordered by Lee, gives Kang an envelope filled with pictures of his petrified daughter held captive. Kang goes to meet Lee believing the river bank murder case is involved with his daughter’s kidnapping. In order to save his daughter, Lee tells Kang to release him within 3 days, pushing Kang into an impossible fork in the road.

Director Hyeong-jun Kim’s upcoming thriller No Mercy (용서는 없다) is set on the Korean National Institute of Scientific Investigation (Nisi) where a staff member (Kyung-gu Sol) works on a series of gruesome murders involving several decapitated victims and mysterious notes left by the killer. During his investigations he and his female partner (Hye-jin Han) come across a headstrong environmentalist (Ryoo Seung-bum) that could be the key to solve the case, but to make things worse the daughter of the investigator somehow (the plot descriptions on severals sites aren’t really specific about this) becomes involved in the deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
