He may be the prettiest of Korea's pretty boys but Kown Sang Woo also happens to be a pretty solid actor and also increasingly eager to shed his smooth image for something a little more challenging, a point made with his latest star vehicle Fate, AKA A Destiny. This is the star's first role as a villain with Kwon playing the baddie in a story of childhood friends corrupted and turning against each other.

Woo-min wants to get out from the gangster world. Do-wan wants desperately to be back with his girlfriend Mi-jin. The only thing Chul-jung cares about is his younger sister. These three friends plot to steal money meant for rival gang leader Doo-man and start new lives. Along with their leader Kang-sup, they follow through and succeed in taking the money.

But Chul-jung gets jealous of Kang-sup and Do-wan’s trust and close relationship with Woo-min and eventually betrays his friends. They end up getting caught by Doo-man who takes revenge on them. Kang-sup gets his Achilles tendon cut and becomes disabled, Do-wan turns drug addict, and Woo-min takes responsibility for the crime after the police get involved and goes to jail. After two years, Woo-min gets released early on good behavior.

Woo-min decides to forgive Chul-jung’s betrayal and get Kang-sup and Do-wan out of the gang with the money he left with Kang-sup two years earlier. But to his surprise, Kang-sup had lost all the money, Do-wan is struggling with a drug addiction, Chul-jung had turned worse, and Doo-man is set in having him in his gang. The more Woo-min tries to escape the more destiny chokes in on him and is left in despair, with no way out. Betrayal, conspiracy, and revenge surrounding these men get tangled in a turn for the worst.

The film hits DVD July 11th and you can find the trailer below the break.
