Episode 5: Train To Busan
Release Date: 2016
In this week’s episode, we head over to South Korea to discuss one of our all-time favorite films - Train to Busan. This movie was released in 2016 - the first live-action film of director Yeon Sang Ho. It stars Gong Yoo, Ma Dong Seok, and Jung Yu Mi - all well-known stars - and was commercially successful as well as critically acclaimed. Train to Busan is hailed as one of the best zombie apocalypse movies of all time. Whilst the main theme is survival, it manages to weave in political and social commentary - a rarity for the horror genre.
Minal doesn’t watch zombie or horror films and only Korean zombie shows and films have got her hooked to this genre. Benny came as a guest on a Kdrama podcast that Minal co-hosts and raved about the Kingdom K-drama and Train to Busan; and only after his praises did Minal decide to watch the show and the movie. Both the drama and this movie sit on top of Minal’s all-time favorite shows and movies. To know more about why both the hosts here loved this movie - tune in to the episode to find out!
Synopsis (From AsianWiki): Seok-Woo (Gong Yoo) is a fund manager in Seoul. He is separated from his wife and lives with his daughter Soo-An (Kim Soo-Ahn). Seok-Woo doesn't spend much time with his daughter or show affection to her. On the night before Soo-An's birthday, Soo-An insists on seeing her mother for her birthday. Seok-Woo has no other choice, but to take her to Busan. Early the next morning, they board the KTX train for Busan at Seoul Station. Before the KTX train leaves Seoul Station, a zombie-like girl jumps onto the train. The girl is infected with a horrific virus that is spreading like wildfire. Seok-Woo, Soo-An, and the other passengers on the KTX train must now fight for their lives.
