Kill Boksoon

Gil Bok-soon leads a double life. She is a single mother raising a teenage daughter, and she is also a professional assassin working for an agency called MK Entertainment, where she has built a flawless record. Killing comes naturally to her; parenting does not. As she approaches the renewal of her contract with the agency, she begins to consider stepping away from the job to focus on her daughter. That decision sets her against the organization she has served, and its head, Cha Min-kyu, the man who trained her and who now controls the people around her, including his sister Cha Min-hee and a fellow assassin, Han Hee-sung. The film follows her as the personal and professional sides of her life collide.

Byun Sung-hyun directed and wrote the film, which sits between Kingmaker and Good News in his filmography. Jeon Do-yeon plays Gil Bok-soon, with Sul Kyung-gu as Cha Min-kyu, Kim Si-a as her daughter Gil Jae-young, Esom as Cha Min-hee and Koo Kyo-hwan as Han Hee-sung.

Released in 2023, the Korean production runs 137 minutes and mixes action, crime, drama and thriller elements. It holds a 6.6 rating on IMDb from around 16,000 votes and a 6.9 on TMDB from a much smaller pool of several hundred, while its critics' score stands at 6.9 from 34 reviews, placing it close to the audience verdict on TMDB and somewhat above the IMDb figure.
