Watched Korea's Collectors (1:54:20). Kang Dong-goo, a talented grave robber, offers his services to a rich collector who murdered his father years ago. At first he offers a golden Buddha, and then volunteers to prove his abilities by asking the collector to finance the robbing of a funerary mural in China. Finally, he offers to retrieve the royal sword of the deceased General Yi Seong-gye from the Seolleung Royal Tomb.

The treatment is very light, almost as though the movie were a comedy. I stuck with it just to see those lovely props.

Alas, no one was eating noodle dishes or drinking soju in this movie.
