The launch of the Seoul metropolitan government's English subtitled Korean movie series will be held on March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at CINUS Myeongdong with the screening of ``Private Eye.''
Set in Seoul in 1910, Hong Jin-ho, who will become the Joseon Kingdom's first modern detective, travels around solving trivial family disputes for pocket money.
However, he is determined to go to America someday and is saving up for his passage.
One night, Gwang-soo, a medical physician in training, discovers a corpse in the woods and secretly takes it to practice his dissections on. But the corpse turns out to be the son of one of Seoul's most powerful men.
While planning to flee in the middle of the night and afraid of murder accusations, Gwang-soo meets Jin-ho, the private detective, and asks him to find the killer.
When another corpse turns up in the woods, murdered in the same way as the first victim, Jin-ho and Gwang-soo use a piece of cloth they find in the victim's hand as the lead they need to bring them closer to the real culprit. For more information, visit www.cinus.co.kr (Korean only)
