"Korean Non-Blockbusters We Can't Miss" explores well-made Korean films but which were not successful at the box-office. This week's episodes feature Minority Opinion by Kim Sung-jae and Kim Dal-joongs 2012 film, Pacemaker.
The 2015 courtroom drama film speaks for minority who are helpless against power such as Park Jae-ho, one of the tenants who have been evicted from their homes, is arrested after he killed a police officer during a clash with riot police. However, he tells a public defender, Yoon Jin-won who is appointed to Parks case that he acted in self-defense since his 16-year-old son was killed by the police. During the case investigation, Yoon finds that police and prosecution attempts to conceal the truth, and lodges a 100 won (10-Cent) compensation claim only for the states apology.
The 2012 film, Pacemaker maintains its focus on pacemakers who are frequently employed to lead the first section of long-distance sports such as running and swimming and support frontrunners to shorten their records. Joo Man-ho, a marathon pacemaker, who finishes second place in every race for rising starts, has always wanted to complete a marathon. However, after he is wounded in his leg, he realises that he may not be able to run marathons anymore. Joo decides to complete his lifetime goal of running a full marathon at the 2012 London Olympics.
