It was directed by Choi Jong-tae and produced by Dyne Film-Guardtec. Lee Joon-gi was reportedly paid ₩100 million, which is relatively low compared with his rising popularity following King and the Clown . This is because the contract was signed in early December before King and the Clown was released when Lee was an unknown actor. [2]

Synopsis

The film revolves around Jang Ka-pil (Lee Moon-sik) in his 40s, who leads an ordinary life with his adorable wife and their 17-year-old daughter, Dami (Kim So-eun). He faces a crisis when his daughter is sexually assaulted by a high school boxing star from a rich, well-connected family and he finds no help from the school or police authorities.

To prove that he is not a coward and will do anything for his family, he decides to take revenge and physically beat up his daughter's tormentor. For the seemingly impossible task, he asks Go Seung-suk (Lee Joon-gi), a rebellious high school student with a talent for fighting, to train him.
