Adapted from a popular webcomic titled Shark, the Korean movie is set to be exciting, thrilling, and action-packed!

Watch the trailer below:

The movie revolves around teenager Cha Woo Sol, a victim of school violence. After an unexpected incident, he gets imprisoned in a boys' prison, where he meets Jeong Do Hyun, a former mixed martial arts champion.

Under Do Hyun's guidance, Woo Sol sheds his meekness, fights his inner fears, and starts breaking his limits one by one. Will he be able to get revenge on his bully?

Intrigued already? Here's a closer look at the main characters of Shark: The Beginning:

1. Cha Woo Sol, played by Kim Min Seok

Gentle and timid, Woo Sol spent his middle school days being relentlessly bullied by fellow schoolmate Bae Seok Chan. In high school, Woo Sol finally finds some relief, only to have his nightmare start all over again when Seok Chan transfers into the same school.

Unable to put up with the bullying anymore, Woo Sol ends up attacking Seok Chan with a pen, which is the incident that sends him to prison. Once he starts training with Do Hyun in prison, he overcomes his physical and mental limitations, transforming into a strong fighter.

2. Jung Do Hyun, played by Wi Ha Joon

After he avenges the death of his family, this former martial arts champion finds himself in prison. There, he crosses paths with Woo Sol, who wants to learn how to fight so that he can not only survive prison, but also in preparation for the day when he'll have to eventually meet his bully again.

Granting Woo Sol's request, Do Hyun takes the boy under his wing and puts him through painful, intensive training to awaken the shark within himself.

3. Bae Seok Chan, played by Jung Won Chang

A vicious bully, Seok Chan makes Woo Sol's school life a living nightmare. The injuries he sustains from the pen attack forces him to give up his boxing, thus setting him on a course for vengeance. Eagerly awaiting Woo Sol's release from jail, Seok Chan swears to make him pay for what he's done.
