A week ago i reviewed the divine move, A korean action film which was pretty awesome i dare to say. Click here to read that review! I then found out that there is another one, the Divine Move 2 which is actually suppose to be a prequel of that one!
This film came out during 2019 and in an action movie like the previous one. It is about 1 hours and 40 minutes long and get ready cause my review will contain some minor spoilers, so you have to see the first one before watching this, otherwise you won't get much of it.
Plot
Before i even begin talking about the second film, in my previous review i said i left out an "important" plot thing that i will now reveal. As long as the protagonist remained in prison's isolation he played GO against an unknown prisoner and never won once.
He tried to find who he was but he only discovered a paper that was sent to him with a name inside. It was for him to find the Drinking Jesus who later told him that this person's name was the "ghost"!

Now let's begin with this movie's plot. It takes place during 90s when a young boy and his sister work for a very rich and known GO player. His sister believes that her younger brother is quite skilled and ask from the rich guy to help him become better, but he ask something in return from her...
Sadly the young boy sees what's happening and later on he challenges the rich guy to a game. He obviously loses but he keep pressuring the boy while playing. After that the boy leaves the house cause he don't want to cause any problems and try his luck in the world without nothing!
Soon he meets a con man named Heo Il-Do who trains him hard to become one of the best Go players and ofc earn money along the way. One of these scams lead to Heo's death but a little bit before he dies he points out a name to the young boy in order to go there and been taken care of.
So he trains himself both in physical and mental (Go skills) terms and seeks out revenge from those who have killed Heo as well as the rich guy who now is the considered to be the best nation's GO player!
Good & Bad
The good thing about the movie is that the action and some "gore" scenes remained in the same level. Also, the story is quite well written as far as it concerns how ghost became what he is and what troubles and issues had to face and overcome.
What i didn't like though is the lack of plot twists that the first one had. Mostly everything that happened in the movie was well expected. I tend to believe though that there will be a third movie that will combine the past with the future and that means
Tae Seok from the first movie will meet Ghost but nobody knows if they will fight or something!
My Rating 6.7/10
