Special Delivery is a 2022 Korean movie that viewers can watch on Viki. If you like action films with lots of car chase scenes you’ll love this movie!
All Deliveries Are Special
Jung Eun Ha (played by Park So Dam) has fast car driving skills that could make professional race car drivers jealous. Yeah. She’s that good. But she is also a North Korean defector. With that kind of label, it might not have been easy for her to get a job. According to the results of a survey published by UCA News, dated February 2023: “North Korean defectors residing in South Korea face discrimination due to language barriers and negative perceptions about their country causing many to have psychological breakdowns”. The scriptwriters for Special Delivery added a dose of this painful reality to their fictional story line.
Fortunately, Baek Kang-cheol (played by Kim Eui Sung, “Taxi Driver”), the man who helped her enter South Korea, also helped her with employment. Officially, he runs a junkyard, Unofficially, he runs a “special delivery service”. There are certain packages that most delivery companies will refuse to transport. Mr. Baek’s company will take the job, and Jung Eun Ha will do the pickup and delivery. It might be physical goods or physical people. No matter. She always gets the job done.
Babysitting is Not in the Job Description
Jung Eun Ha is sent out to make a delivery and her “special package” turns out to be a little boy. Why do parents make bad decisions that put their children in danger? The young boy is the son of a baseball player who got involved with an illegal gambling ring. He wants out! But whereas, getting into the crime ring was easy; getting out is not! He tries to escape which is why he arranged for him and his son to be picked up and delivered to a place of safety. That was his plan.
The plan did not work. The boy’s father, i.e. the baseball player got caught by the gang but his son managed to get away. The young boy sees Jung Eun Ha’s car and jumps in. She wants to refuse delivery but did not get the chance. Before she knew it she was in a race to save her life and the life of her young passenger.
Once she manages to elude the people who are chasing them, she tries to figure out how to get rid of the kid. She didn’t sign up for babysitting. But where is she supposed to deliver him? The boy tells her his dad told him not to go to the cops because they can’t be trusted. Of course they can’t. The head of the illegal gambling ring is a corrupt cop, and now he’s after the little boy and her! Now she is involved in a life-threatening chase that won’t be over until it’s over!
Viewership and Ratings
Park So Dam’s Wiki/Bio indicates the she made her acting debut in 2013. However, Special Delivery was the first Korean film on my watch list where she is the female lead actress. It would be good to see her in other roles. She will also be starring in Phantom, a 2023 spy thriller action film, set during the Japanese colonial period of Korea’s history. The official trailer is very exciting. At present, this K-drama is not available to the American viewing audience, so it’s on my watch llist.
Viki viewers gave Special Delivery 9.6 out of 10 stars. I agree.
