In 1987, a South Korean diplomat working in Lebanon was abducted by a terrorist organization. Fully aware that their diplomat’s life was on the line, the Korean government had no choice but to comply with the terrorists’ demands. Agreeing to pay a ransom of 2.5 million U.S. dollars, the Korean government, acting in secret so as not to hamper the country’s upcoming presidential election or their bid for hosting the 1988 Summer Olympics, sent diplomat Lee Min Joon (Ha Jung Woo) to Lebanon with the ransom money and orders to bring his colleague home.&nbsp;

As a diplomat, Min Joon’s career wasn’t anything extraordinary. With no shining achievements or incredible successes, Min Joon had nothing but his unwavering determination to recommend him. Even so, Min Joon dreamt of someday being assigned to work in the United States. Knowing he needed more than a dream to gain such an assignment, Min Joon was only too eager to volunteer for the extremely unofficial operation that would bring a missing diplomat home. After getting his superiors to agree to assign him to the States upon his return, Min Joon sets off for Lebanon, a country currently in the throes of a civil war.&nbsp;

Not long after arriving in Lebanon, Min Joon meets Pan Soo (Ju Ji Hoon), a street-wise Korean taxi driver who soon finds himself wrapped up in Min Joon’s diplomatic affairs. With no support from his government and only a taxi driver for an ally, can Min Joon bring home the missing diplomat before it’s too late?

Inspired by true events, “Ransomed” is a 2023 South Korean action drama film directed by Kim Sung Hoon.&nbsp;

Ransomed

Taek Il (Park Jung Min) is 18 and unhappy with his lot. His life is going nowhere, much like the faulty motorbike he bought online and now can’t get to work. After a bitter quarrel with his nagging mother, he decides to run away from home to a town named Gunsan where he finds work at a Chinese restaurant. He has a run-in with the restaurant’s cook, the burly and ostensibly ill-tempered Geo Seok (Ma Dong Seok). Although they get off on the wrong foot, they start to develop an unorthodox friendship, which mostly involves baiting each other and threatening one another with violence. Little by little, Taek Il begins to understand that Geo Seok is hiding a mysterious and unhappy secret.

Things get even more hectic for Taek Il when his best friend Sang Pil (Jung Hae In), who is trying to support his ailing grandmother, who is struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, reveals that he is to take up a job in “finance” – a position that turns out to involve little more than collecting debts for unscrupulous loan sharks. The trio embarks on a journey of discovery as they try to carve out a future for themselves in an uncertain world…

This film was based on a web-based cartoon series named “Start” by author Jo Geum San.

“Start-Up” is a 2019 South Korean movie that was written and directed by Choi Jung Yeol.
