Jung_E

It is a 2023 South Korean sci-fi film written & directed by Yeon Sang ho.Starring Kang Soo yeon, Kim Hyun joo & Ryu Kyung soo. This film features the final appearance of Kang Soo yeon who dies ahead of it’s release. It premiered on 20 Jan. 2023 0n Netflix.

It portrays a legendary mercenary Captain Yun Jung-yi of the Allied forces who lead her team to countless successful missions. She has a daughter Yun Seo hyun who suffers from a lung tumour. She has become a mercenary to afford her daughter’s medical treatment.

The day her daughter gets into surgery, Jung yi fails her mission & ends up in coma.Kronoid, an institute in charge of developing AI technologies convinces her family to agree to clone her brain, promising her daughter’s education & living expenses.

Thirty five years later in 2194, Kronoid clones Jung yi’ s brain to develop AI mercenary, code named Jung_E.Dr Yun Seo hyun is the team leader of the research project Jung-E. She seeks to memorialise Jung -yi as a hero rather than a failure.

Does she succeed? How does she go about it? The film is short & gripping. Going to the future, taking every ride with her is a memorable experience. I have seen sci-fi movies before. But this has the special Korean touch!

It took the first place globally on Netflix’s film category, immediately after it’s release.Entering the Top 10 list in 80 countries with 19 million hours viewed. A rare feat by a non English film.
