The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil
The film's writers took creative liberties to enhance the story, but the core events are rooted in reality. The movie's portrayal of the cat-and-mouse game between Kang and Kim, as well as the investigation led by Ha, is based on actual police reports and court documents.
The film's narrative is inspired by the real-life events surrounding Park Chung-ha and his encounters with the police.
