Gangnam Blues

Gangnam Blues (강남 1970, 2015) is a South Korean crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Yoo Ha and starring Lee Min-ho alongside Kim Rae-won. Two childhood friends who scrape by as street scavengers on the fringes of 1970s Seoul get drawn into rival mob factions overnight.

Jong-dae and Yong-ki end up on opposite sides of a brutal turf war over land in Gangnam — back when that now-gleaming district was just mudflats south of the Han River. The government's redevelopment push turns the area into a battlefield, and every gangster, politician, and landlord is grabbing what they can. The two men have to choose between loyalty and survival.

At 135 minutes, director Yoo Ha builds a period crime epic grounded in an actual chapter of Seoul's urban history rather than generic mob mythology. The film is bleak about what ambition costs people who start with nothing. Watch Gangnam Blues (2015) online on iFILM.
