I, The Executioner is a South Korean action-crime feature from 2024, directed by Ryoo Seung-wan and running one hundred and eighteen minutes. K-Time carries it with a Persian dub and with Persian subtitles.

What is I, The Executioner about?

The picture sits on the police-procedural side of Korean action cinema. At its centre is a veteran investigator attached to a Major Crimes squad whose reputation rests on staying with a case long past the point where other units would move on. A younger officer, newly posted to that unit, is folded into that method, and two approaches to the job - one shaped by years of field work, one by recent training - have to operate side by side. The case that pulls them out is a sequence of killings serious enough to dominate national attention, and the work proceeds through surveillance, interview rooms, forensic follow-up and street pursuit. The engine of the plot is the manhunt: identifying the person responsible, then closing the distance.

About the cast

The credited cast is led by Hwang Jung-min and Jung Hae-in, with Oh Dal-su, Oh Dae-hwan, Jang Yoon-ju, Kim Si-hoo, Jin Kyung and Shin Seung-hwan also listed. K-Time records those names in that order and does not map roles to actors here; the structure is an ensemble, with several officers carrying parallel threads of one investigation.

Context & significance

South Korean action-crime filmmaking is one of the most widely exported strands of that country's cinema, and this release sits inside it: a contemporary urban setting, a police unit as the organising frame, and action staged as a continuation of the investigation rather than a break from it. Ryoo Seung-wan is credited as director. The running time of one hundred and eighteen minutes is standard for the form, long enough to carry a full investigative arc. On K-Time the film is catalogued under Action and Crime. The country of production is South Korea and the original dialogue is Korean, which is why carrying both a Persian dub and a Persian subtitle track matters for households where viewers prefer to listen or to read.
