The big news this week is the dominance of foreign movies.

Here's Son Heekyung.
The Korean film "Educating Kidnappers" ("A Cruel Attendance")revolves around a white-collar worker named Dongchul who loses money on stock investments and runs up a large interest debt.
He feels overwhelmed in trying to repay his debts, and kidnaps a rich high schooler who turns out to be a troublemaker suspended from school.
The film's turning point is when the main character receives a call that HIS daughter has been taken hostage.
He is no longer kidnapping to pay back his debt, but to save his daughter.
