Yeong-hwa-neun yeong-hwa-da / Rough Cut / A Movie Is a Movie (2008)

Gang-pae (So Ji-seob) is a gangster, who is always cool-headed and not easy to upset. One day, when sitting in a karaoke bar, he gets to know that the filmstar Su-ta (Kang Ji-Hwan) is sitting in the room next to him. Gang-pae sends some of his subordinates to get him an autograph, but Su-ta is only willing to give it to him personally. As a result Gang-pae and Su-ta engage into an argument, which is almost about to escalate. Days later that very same conversation is still bothering them, since some kind of connection seems to be a apparent between them.
Shortly thereafter, Su-ta has some problems concerning the shooting of his newest film, as he once again beat down one of his co-stars, whereafter no one else is willing to work with him, anymore. When he is desperately trying to find someone for the role of his antagonist, Gang-pae comes into his mind, who had mentioned that he had already had a small supporting role in a movie and back in his teenage years actually wanted to become an actor. Gang-pae agrees to play the role in the movie on the condition that they perform the fighting scenes for real. Their film shooting isn't only about to change Su-ta's life, but Gang-pae's as well, whose softer side gets more and more to the foreground, which brings him into a lot of trouble in his organization…
