He calls himself a broker of good will. Sang-Hyun works with Dong-Soo (Gang Dong-Won) in this endeavor.

Hanny Sep 07 2022 12:58 am The Story is wonderful, i love all the artist Song Kang-Ho, Gang Dong-Won, Bae Doo-Na, IU, Lee Joo-Young, Lim Seung-Soo, Song Sae-Byeok, Kim Sun-Young, Lee Mu-Saeng, Lee Dong-Hwi, Kim Sae-Byuk, Baek Hyun-Jin are so good in character and also strong personality. Respect for their hard works! the entire cast did an excellent job.

tsunderee Aug 11 2022 4:54 am I hope it will be available on Netflix; the story is wonderful, and there is a lesson to be learned. Everyone should be thankful that we were born in this world no matter what. Thank you for I'm being born. I love all the casts, great acting...Thanks to the director of this movie. Hats off.

Typical Koreeda's work Aug 03 2022 3:38 pm Koreeda's common theme in his movies is about "unconventional" family in which he successfully depicted in this movie. The movie is slow pace however the characters managed to draw you in with emotional scenes and excellent acting from all involved. The cinematography and score are beautiful. If there's one thing I'm disappointed is too many subplots and he didn't manage to connect them all together. The ending seemed somewhat lacking. As an audience, the movie left some lingering questions at the end but all in all, I enjoyed the movie and the entire cast did an excellent job.

Acting Critics Jul 13 2022 10:38 pm So many talented actors. Song Kangho, Bae Doona, Kang Dongwon, Kim Seonyeong. Lee Jooyoung did a great job as well. The cast is almost perfect. almost

Yet another masterpiece from Hirokazu Koreeda Jul 08 2022 2:27 am For those who are already familiar with Hirokazu Koreeda will know what they are getting themselves into before watching this film.

If you go in to the cinemas expecting this to be fast pace action or suspense blockbuster film, than you will be disappointed. This is an art house film that is very much driven by the characters.

Each of the casts deliver outstanding performances. Song Kang-ho rightly deserve winning the Best Actor award for his starring turn in Broker at 75th Cannes Film Festival 2022. Lee Ji-eun (aka IU) is the heart and soul of this film as we watch her character change as she journey with the brokers.

Just go to the cinemas with the right expectation and this film will not disappoint while enjoy the empathetic road trip odyssey reflecting on the family we choose.

Bono Jul 08 2022 1:24 am I love IU she is very kind but also very talented I'm very excited for this movie love you unnie??

bn Jul 06 2022 8:38 am Excellent performance by all casts. IU’s acting was phenomenal and her character really shined throughout the movie. Unfortunately a little disappointed at the ending and was confused as to what happened to Sang Hyun

Sav Jul 02 2022 5:26 pm A very emotional one. Koreeda did it again. 10/10

tsunderee Jun 08 2022 1:12 am Can't wait for this. Please do air internationally

Min_jah May 28 2022 2:00 pm Award in cannes festival 2022

Dnlee Apr 28 2022 7:44 am This movie looks sad ?

trebuchette Apr 12 2022 10:08 pm Kang Dong Won and Song Kang Ho reunites after Secret Reunion! I bet this will be a tearjerker.

Nice to see IU in the big screen as well!

nina Feb 05 2022 1:03 am Wow! A reunion for Bae Doo Na and Gang Dong Won… looking forward after their drama together a long time ago, The Country Princess

Meg Oct 17 2021 6:58 am I’m so glad to see IU in a film with big well known Korean movie actors. Bae Doo- na and Song Kang-Ho veterans in the film industry. It’s really on a different level than a K-drama and this is perfect for her to learn more and continue to grow in her acting. She’s really improved so much in this field. She’s working back to back though- I hope she’s getting enough rest ?.

Harry McNicholas Sep 19 2021 11:44 pm Will Broker perhaps be shown on one U.S. streaming service like Netflix. I love IU. Very hot and excellent actress.

Taiwo Babatunde Aug 22 2021 10:33 pm The two host 2006 actors are acting again. Lol

Jilli Feb 15 2021 5:26 am This was based on a real life story. I saw the news footage a number of years ago. They were Christians who wanted to save babies. I hope they don't schmaltz it up in the screenplay but stay true to life.
