After Forever the Moment turned women's handball into blockbuster material, another lesser known sport gets the inspirational movie treatment in Bronze Medalist (a.k.a. Lifting King Kong). Inspired by a true story, this zero-to-hero coming-of-age sports flick stars Lee Bum Soo (More Than Blue) as a half-hearted weighlifting coach who becomes an important mentor to a group of growing teenage girls striving to stay on their feet in an unpopular sport. Starlet Jo An (Muoi: The Legend of a Portrait), Lee Yoon Hoi (Perfect Couple), and newcomers Choi Moon Kyung, Jeon Bo Mi, and Kim Min Young make up the fresh-faced team of amateur athletes. Bronze Medalist is the first feature from director Park Geon Yong, who previously assisted on Typhoon.
After his retirement, Olympics bronze medalist weightlifter Ji Bong (Lee Bum Soo), better known as "King Kong", reluctantly becomes a coach at a girls' middle school out in the boonies. He isn't too interested in teaching and the angsty teenage recruits under his charge aren't too interested in learning. Over time, the ragtag team begins to come around as they persevere through the tough training, and faked enthusiasm turns to genuine camaraderie and medal dreams.
This 2-Disc Edition of Bronze Medalist comes with 100 minutes of special features.
