kdrama1-2, Exercise 1: Righteous Revenge Model answer: Righteous Revenge (Uirijeok Guto) premiered on 27 October 1919 at Dansungsa in Seoul. It was directed by Kim Do-san (who per the article also wrote it and played the lead) and produced by Park Seong-pil. It was a kino-drama: a stage play with a film backdrop, so live actors on stage with filmed scenes as part of the show. "First Korean film" is disputed. The article says it is "widely considered" the first ever Korean movie but that "this label is disputed". The South Korean government treats it as the first. A documentary, Panoramic View of the Whole City of Gyeongseong, is "sometimes considered the first" (though without actors or plot), and Chunhyang-jeon (filmed 1921, released 1922) is "possibly the first Korean feature film". The answer depends on whether you count kino-dramas, documentaries or features. The film is now lost. Sources: Wikipedia, Righteous Revenge; Cinema of South Korea; Cinema of Korea.
