Private Eye (Korean: 그림자 살인; RR: Geurimja sarin; lit. "Shadow Murder") is a 2009 South Korean period film noir directed by Park Dae-min.[2]

Plot

Seoul, 1910. Hong Jin-ho, Joseon’s first detective, travels around solving trivial family disputes for pocket money as a private detective. However, he is determined to go to America someday and is saving up for the trip. Then one night, Gwang-soo, a medical physician in training, discovers a corpse in the woods and secretly takes it to practice dissecting. But the corpse turns out to be the son of Seoul’s most powerful man. While planning to flee in the middle of the night and afraid of murder accusations, Gwang-soo meets Jin-ho, and asks him to find the killer. When another corpse turns up in the woods, murdered in the same way as the first victim, Jin-ho and Gwang-soo use a piece of cloth they find in the victim’s mouth as the lead they need to bring them one step closer to the real killer.

gollark: If you try and reflash them, you'll just get orbitally lased while in orbit or something.

gollark: No.

gollark: Technically not all of the orbital lasers may have *originally* been mine, but they run osmarks.tk firmware now and it's not like someone can go up there and reflash them.

gollark: Well, have osmarks.tk orbital laser network, will orbitally lase.

gollark: Idea: switch the incentives to make politicians build more environmentally-friendly power plants by orbital-lasing all heavily polluting power plants!
