Kim Nam-gil and Jeon Do-yeon get dangerously close in The Shameless

This might be a movie that I check out for the acting performances, though it’ll have to be a dark and gloomy kind of day to get me in the mood. Jeon Do-yeon (The Way Home, Countdown) and Kim Nam-gil (Pirates, Shark) pair up for the “hardboiled melo” The Shameless, about a detective who goes undercover to get close to a killer’s girlfriend and ends up falling for her.

The movie stars Jeon Do-yeon as a bar hostess and girlfriend to a murderer on the run (played by Park Sung-woong), and Kim Nam-gil as a resourceful rogue detective who does whatever it takes to get the job done. In his quest to nab the killer, Kim Nam-gil goes undercover as a criminal to get close to the girlfriend, but as they spend more and more time together, lines begin to blur.

The movie is about them filling each other’s loneliness and their desire to turn lies into truth. The taglines for the movie read, “The detective meets the killer’s woman,” “It began as a lie,” and “I want to believe, even if it’s a lie.” So, I’m sensing a theme here. Maybe you two lovebirds could go on the run together? Or is that solving a problem by creating another problem?

The Shameless is helmed by Oh Seung-wook, who wrote and directed Kilimanjaro and wrote Christmas in August. It premieres at Cannes in May.

I agree, his 'stache is like his trademark and not seeing it seems off.

Maybe he lives, but she dies. Wouldn't be a Kim Nam Gil film without such an end, would it? *will check it out anyway* *loves him. hard.*

My brain short circuits when I see Kim Nam-gil without facial hair. Then I think of Shark and feel conflicted.

Daggit why does Park Sung-woong always get his women stolen? #teamdoomed

I'm sure Jeon Do-yeon will be awesome as ever. I'll be waiting to see it (and waiting...and waiting...)

I feel like this is the kind of movie that will leave me a sobbing, emotionally drained wreck at the end, but it will be so worth it.

Gosh, Kim Nam Gil is looking good!With or without facial hair!

Gotta say, not my usual kind of story, but I think I'm going to enjoy watching it, the trailer alone looks compelling enough!

This sounds like an amazing drama! Reminds me of the good old days of "Queen of the Game" and all the other revenge dramas of the 2000s. I can imagine the longing faces, the drawn out music and melancholic tone!!
