Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the 2000 'Gapjil' case, a notorious Korean miscarriage of justice that sparked national debate about prosecutorial power.
Director Kim Tae-yun spent years researching actual retrial cases; the slow bureaucratic horror is intentional, not pacing failure.
