Korean dramas are always so filled with great dramatic experience and suspense that one can imagine. I am not talking about movie series that are very common with the Korean movie industry but the dramas that does not require episode. I haven't to watch a recently released movie titled 'YADANG THE SNITCH '(2025), a South Korean crime-thriller.
This movie is about a young man LEE KANG SU who was implicated of doing drugs but along the line while he was arrested and in prisoned he met a prosecutor KOO GWAN HEE Who promise to shorten his sentence by working for him as an Insider in the prison. The young man was brilliant and did his part by gathering information of drug dealers who were still carrying out businesses by contacting druggies outside of the prison. The prosecutor caps to his promise and he was released, he continued to work as a snitch who would reveal the identity of drug dealers in the community and would go through every means to catch the culprit before the police does so as to elevate his status in the society and gain more power.
Along the line, this prosecutor got greedy and decided not to be involved with a young man who has nothing to offer by setting him up and ingesting two dosage of drugs into his system. The idea was to kill him and making a junkie but his friend helped him and isolated him because when you start doing hard drugs you become an addict. To avoid this, he was isolated and locked up till he accepted his reality and got better and free from drugs.
After all this was accomplished, he sought out to seek revenge alongside the prosecutor that was framed for bribery by a cartel, together they gathered evidence to destroy the prosecutor and some prominent politicians who were engaged in fraudulent activities.
One of the Themes evidence in this movie is that of corruption, greed and power. It was so bad that they we ready to implicate and kill their friends and loyal associates just to climb up the ladder of success. Even prosecutors that were supposed to uphold the law of the city became puppets in the hands of politicians and their families all because greed so as to get to the top position.
The issue of revenge was also evident, it is funny how some people think they can use others and get away with it, forgetting that they are away of their secrets. This was the case when the two men forged a cooperation to expose the corrupt men.
