The Show Must Go On (2007 film)

The Show Must Go On () is a 2007 South Korean crime comedy film written and directed by Han Jae-rim. The film stars Song Kang-ho as a gangster who aspires to be a full-time husband and dad. It was released theatrically in South Korea on 5 April 2007.

Plot

Unlike most men who hold titles like "Manager" or "Director", Kang In-gu is called "Boss". But beyond his unconventional profession, his love for his family is just like any other hardworking father in South Korea. Each day, he balances his life between being a dedicated enforcer for the organization and playing the role of a caring dad—all in pursuit of his dream: to live elegantly with his family in a quiet countryside home. The elegant life he longs for seems within reach, but constant demands from his family to leave his job—and the tense rivalry with the organization's second-in-command, Noh Sang-moo—threaten to pull him further away from that dream.
