He made the Corporal Pyeong character, Corporal Pyeong.

I mentioned in my review that I thought the role Baek Yoon-Shik played in that wasn’t properly chosen. Almost every actor/actress in was a familiar face. I can’t think of a single person that I think was wrongfully casted. The acting by everyone is amazing in this. Don’t let the trailer fool you it doesn’t seem as old as what the trailer makes it seem when you actually watch the film. Tazza 1 defines “classical Korean film,” and even today I think it’s up there in terms of great story and acting.

have imitated the characters of the movie. Furthermore, numerous comedians, actors, singers, etc.
TAZZA THE HIGH ROLLERS MOVIE MOVIE
When the main musical piece of the movie plays on TV shows, dramas, and other movies, you instantly think of the film. TrailerĪs mentioned before, is a classic Korean movie. Go-Ni begins his new life, as the next infamous Tazza. Corporal Pyeong eventually gives in, but with a catch: Go-Ni must quit Hwatu once he makes back fives times as much as what he lost in the furniture factory.

Go-Ni follows Corporal Pyeong around, begging him to take him under his wing and teach him his ways. Along the way, he comes across Corporal Pyeong (Baek Yoon-Shik), a notorious ‘Tazza’ (a word to describe an extremely skilled Hwatu player usually swindles and scams people out of their money can also be thought of as an “illusionist” and “scam artist”). Furious at this fact, he goes after Park Moo-Seok, searching for him throughout the country. He later finds out that the game was rigged, and that he was swindled into losing all of his money. Not too long after, he loses all of his 3-years’ worth of savings. He can’t overcome the temptation and joins in. One day, he sees Park Moo-Seok (Kim Sang-Ho) gambling in a session of ‘Hwatu,’a gambling card game many older Koreans play, in the back of the factory. Go-Ni (Cho Seung-Woo) lives a miserable life, working at a furniture factory instead of going to college because he believes money is the sole thing that can get him out of poverty.
TAZZA THE HIGH ROLLERS MOVIE SERIES
If I recall correctly, I believe the series is based on a four-part comic. There is a third film in the works according to several sources, but no official announcement in regards to the release date have been made. The sequel was released 8 years later, in 2014, and features stars like T.O.P of Big Bang, Shin Se-Kyung, Kwok Do-Won, Lee Hanee, and more, including Yoo Hae-Jin from the prequel. All of these actors are amazing performers and were perfectly chosen to portray their roles. Directed by Choi Dong-Hoon, who also directed and, the cast members of this is incredible: Cho Seung-Woo, Kim Hye-Soo, Baek Yoon-Sik, Yoo Hae-Jin, Kim Sang-Ho, Kim Yoon-Suk, Kim Eung-Soo, and Joo Jin-Mo. is the first of a two-part series that was released back in 2006. Being released over ten years ago, the film is still an extremely enjoyable and entertaining movie, and a must watch for Korean cinema fans. Scenes and references to the film are still made to this day on various shows, dramas, other movies, and more. One word to describe this film: “Classic.” Everything from its actors, musical scores, story, and quotes said are classics that shaped and defined Korean cinema for years to come. “How do you expect a wolf to work for a dog?”
