6 45 Korean Movie

[Blanchefle Strycker]

Iknow American audiences have never heard of the film 6/45 but let me present to you the setup of the movie. At the border that divides South and North Korea, A South Korean Border guard Park Chun-woo buys a lottery ticket and finds out that he has accepted the winning ticket which is valued at 6 million dollars.

The two sides of two divided Nations are forced to come to a resolution where they can claim the ticket if all the parties involved get their equal share. For this to be a comedy movie a concept like this sounds like a slam dunk, but the question begs again how did they drop the ball on this premise?

The fundamental problem with 6/45 is that the film for comedy is not as over-the-top as it needs to be in order to sell its own premise. The comedy in the premise is the South Korean guards doing everything they can to reclaim their lottery ticket while being thwarted by the North Korean guards. In other words, this film should be one big Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

However, the film makes the mistake of taking itself way too seriously and abandons its cat-and-mouse premise in the second act of the movie. Meaning, by the time that the North Korean in the South Korean guards are in control of the lottery ticket we still have an hour left to go with the film as all of the gas has dried up in our story.

The cast is solid with the material that they were given, the comedy plays very much to its South Korean audience. While the humor is too dry at times for my liking, there are a few scenes such as South Korean soldiers struggling to communicate with the North Koreans that are over the top.

Are you a person who does not live in Korea and are thinking about buying a lottery ticket while traveling or on a business trip to Korea? I would like to introduce where, how, and when you can buy lotto tickets in Korea.

Korean lotto is called Donghaeng BogGwon and 6/45. Donghaeng BogGwon is the name of the company that issues the lottery, and the meaning of 6/45 is that if you match 6 numbers out of 45 numbers, you will win first place.

The table below shows the winning amounts for 1st to 5th places in won, dollar, and Japanese yen based on the exchange rate as of January 2024. These are the 1100th lottery results announced recently.

Of course, even if a foreigner wins the Korean lottery, he or she can still receive the winnings. The tax rate upon receipt of winnings is determined depending on whether you actually reside in Korea.

Also, if you say to the clerk like Lotto Daseosjul Juseyo with 5,000 won. Then they will give you a piece of paper with 5 lines of numbers written on it. Note that, Five lines can be added to one lotto paper, and each line costs 1,000 won (slightly less than $1).

When you tell the clerk the number of lottery tickets along with your money, the clerk will usually issue the lottery tickets automatically, with a computer randomly selecting numbers. Of course, you can also purchase lotto tickets manually by masking your numbers and handing them to the OMR provided at the lotto store.

To check the winning numbers, please use the link below. Even if the page is in Korean, it is probably one of the fastest ways to find out the winning numbers. This is the official website of a company that sells lottery tickets.

Directed by Park Gyu-tae, and starring Go Kyung-pyo and Lee Yi-kyung, "6/45" depicts a comical encounter between South and North Korean soldiers over the 5.7 billion won (US$4 million) lottery that crosses the military demarcation line on the wind.

Funny as hell!!! That Rollin' rollin' rollin' dance, HELP I couldn't stop laughing.....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Flew by the wind, passed by the demarcation line; an unexpected bond is created. Started by a lottery ticket, led to an accidental joint mission full of laughter & absurd moments between soldiers of two countries that hold long decades of conflicts. And to sum it all; two hours long of nonsense.

Every actor did their parts remarkably well [Park Se-wan ??]. Yet, it managed to grab my attention only at the second half. I found the whole thing almost so-so. It's just that some comedic parts can't quite connect with me, idk why, it's funny but doesn't reach that level of nonstop laughter like how I expected it'd be assuming from the hype.

6/45 (2022) film komedi yang menceritakan hubungan antara tentara Korea Selatan dan Korea Utara yang memperebutkan sebuah lotere. Siapa sangka ternyata mereka memutuskan sebuah kesepakatan untuk membagi secara rata dan sebagai jaminan, satu tentara saling bertukar posisi. Durasi filmnya dirasa cukup lama sih untuk alur cerita yang sebenarnya gak terlalu rumit.

Absurd emang, apalagi ini ada sangkut paut nya sama Korut, tapi dengan segala kekocakannya, film ini emang cukup menghibur. Mulai dari peternakan yang tiba-tiba subur sampe ke tentara viral wkwk. Terakhir nonton film komedi absurd yang berkaitan dengan Korut ya apalagi kalau bukan The Interview, yang kemunculannya cukup kontroversial.

Story: Park Chun-woo (Go Kyung-pyo) is doing his military service near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and has a fun time teasing North Koreans over loudspeakers. He only has a little over three months left to complete his service, when he finds a lottery ticket. As he finds out that the ticket has the winning numbers on it, he is beside himself with joy. But his luck does not last long, because a gust of wind blows the lottery ticket over the border to the north. When Chun-woo crosses the border one night in order to look for the ticket, he runs into the North Korean soldier Ri Young-ho (Lee Yi-kyung). He found the lottery ticket and is willing to give Chun-woo ten percent of the winnings if he cashes in the ticket. The South Korean soldier is outraged and refuses, but the two arrange another meeting for further talks. However, Chun-woo is then summoned to his captain (Eum Moon-suk), who wants to know why he crossed the border. When the captain learns about the truth, he agrees to help. In the meantime, Ri's superior (Lee Soon-won) on the North Korean side finds out what happened, too. He decides not to kill Ri and his friend Bang (Kim Min-ho), who is also in on the secret, for being traitors to their country, but to start talks with the South Korean soldiers for the money. It seems impossible for the two parties to negotiate a deal that everyone's happy with, though...

Review: "6/45" was an unexpected success in Korea and, in a sense, rightfully so. It's quite unusual to get a comedy that doesn't work within the framework of the romantic genre and moreover even takes place on the border between North and South Korea. The movie certainly received quite a bit of praise from both critics and viewers, but unfortunately, you cannot really call this comedy very well-done. Because of its extraordinary premise and some nice ideas, I would have liked to find "6/45" better than I actually did. But a big problem is that the characters are too flat, and the movie keeps losing its focus. This means that the story, which is actually not very complex, shoots in all directions, and even though that also means that it always has something new to offer, it sadly lacks a structure that holds everything together.

Basically, however, you quickly realize that this comedy can get quite absurd at times. This already starts with the lottery ticket, which seems to be controlled by a supernatural entity of good fortune. But it is also reflected in the humor, which entails, for example, creating a specific atmosphere for the farm animals in order to improve their reproduction rate, even including a small, improvised disco ball. In addition, there are other scenes, such as the one with a North Korean, who drunkenly performs the dance of a Korean girl group - because after all, the North Koreans have to be optimally informed about the South - which might as easily have fallen into the category of "cringe", but those scenes always somehow manage to turn the corner at the very last second. Maybe not always, though, as the only female soldier, of course from the North, defends herself against some aggressive advances with a whole tirade of "Those times are long gone" or "We live in an equal society", while she deals out blows and delivers a shoulder throw as a final argument. The whole thing is just hackneyed and seems rather unlikely in the communist North. Scenes like those lack subtlety.

This problem runs through the whole movie. Which means that everything is painted in very broad brushstrokes. The characters are mostly caricatures, and of course, the North Koreans are portrayed like machine parts who have no sense of humor. And that's exactly what the humor builds on every now and then, even though it is obvious that the story will eventually show us the human side of the protagonists from the North. It's quite hard to become interested in the characters' lives, but at least the chemistry between them works. What is surprising, though, is the fact that director Park Gyoo-tae ("Bunt") does not use as many colorful images as you would have expected. Therefore, some scenes between the North and South are surprisingly suspense-packed, even though you can't imagine that any of the soldiers would actually pull the trigger.

Of course, there simply have to be some nods to Park Chan-Wook's "JSA", but basically the movie chooses a rather carefree tone, and as is with similar movies aims at making you realize that the North and South are actually able to temporarily put their differences aside and work together for a common goal (which of all things is "money" here!). However, the story moves forward at a breakneck pace, but without always making clear where exactly it wants to go. The initial hero of the story, played by Go Kyung-pyo ("Seven Years of Night"), soon fades into the background, and at the latest when the six men all go their separate ways to put their plan into action, the flick loses any coherence. In the little stories that are then told parallel to one another, things only seem to happen in order to lead to the next humorous scene.
