Korean Movie 'The Drug King' Spoiler (The Ending Revealed by the Poster, Is Lee the Teacher Ryu Jun-yeol?)

Spoil alert for 'The Drug King' (독전 스포)

Ryu Jun-yeol is Mr. Lee (이선생)

Who is Mr. Lee?? Ryu Jun-yeol lol I thought so from the beginning

​

​

Cha Seung-won is not Mr. Lee, just Brian

The police chief announces to the media that Cha Seung-won is Mr. Lee.

​

​

​

In the ending, Jo Jin-woong goes to find Ryu Jun-yeol.

​

​

​

They both put a gun on the table.

Jo Jin-woong: “Have you ever been happy in your life?”

Ryu Jun-yeol: (Stares at Jo Jin-woong silently)...

Then the scene changes to outside the house.

Gunshot bang

The End... Open ending

Ugh, why do movies these days have endings like this? It's so annoying ㅜㅜ

​

​

People say the poster is the answer,

Since only Jo Jin-woong is in color, it means that Jo Jin-woong, who had been searching for Mr. Lee (Ryu Jun-yeol) for years, finally shot and killed him, that he's dead.

​

​

​

Well..

Wouldn't the two mute friends outside have run into the house in surprise after hearing the gunshot?

They are still playing and laughing after the gunshot.

My interpretation is that these two already knew that Ryu Jun-yeol would kill Jo Jin-woong.

​

​

​

​

​

It seems like Mr. Lee shot Jo Jin-woong in the end.

Jo Jin-woong's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Ryu Jun-yeol.

The real Mr. Lee was right in front of him,

and it seems like he knew that he would die if he approached him.

While driving and even while sitting, Jo Jin-woong, who was facing death, was shaking and anxious.

​

​

Poster Interpretation

Jo Jin-woong is dead, but as the poster suggests, the real winner is Jo Jin-woong.

Because he finally found Mr. Lee.

Even though Ryu Jun-yeol killed Team Leader Jo Jin-woong, well, he won't be happy.

​

I want to watch 'The Drug King' again when the director's cut comes out.

I don't like open endings anymore, Mr. Lee.

​

​

[Additional Ending Interpretation]

My younger sibling told me to write it properly lol

There was a scene where Jo Jin-woong comes out of the villa with blood on his hands, but the director wanted an open ending so it got deleted lol.

So, the director's cut of 'The Drug King' will have Jo Jin-woong shooting Ryu Jun-yeol and coming out with blood on his hands.

​

And someone commented that deaf-mute people can't hear... That's right ㅜㅜㅜ Why did I think they could only not speak?

Then the deaf-mute friends wouldn't have heard if a gunshot went off or if Ryu Jun-yeol died.

​

It seems that Ryu Jun-yeol dies and Jo Jin-woong lives.

Ugh, it's predictable.

It's like a flat soda after hearing that.

Maybe an open ending would have been better after all ㅜㅜ

​

Mr. Lee is Ryu Jun-yeol!
