Twelve is a south Korean movie, an action genre movie which I see to kind of go spiritually, expressing how the darkness could never win over the light.
Alhough I'll say the first episode is not yet giving the action vibes but let's say I can't judge a book by its cover yet because the movie is just unfolding but I guess the episode 2 was gonna kick start the whole action I'm looking forward to.
The world was saved by the angels of light from the dark angels who decided to torment people in the world. After the battle, Taesan remained in the world as one of the angels of light who fought on behalf of humans and has lived for many years. He owned a loan company which was definitely not meant for people who are not criminals, ex-convicts or into illegal business and at some point I start to wonder why that is a reason for establishing a business.
To the extent that he had to bail out a criminal so that he could pay up his loan. Taesan has his workers who go out to fight in getting these loans back when the loaners refused to pay and trust me when I say they are also ready and fit for the job.
Aside being in such a business, Taesan is a soft person with his family and the one human-friend he has which he is older than in age but the friend looks older in look. He will always do anything for them and I think his brother was taking that for granted already(is he older than his brother or vice versa?). Mir as his sister as I guess for now stayed back from home based on reasons best known to her as not yet revealed in episode 1 but was triggered by a dream she had.
In the same episode 1, a doctor named Kang-ji who treats patients through unorthodox means and they get relieved and her partner Do-ni. Maybe from episode 2 upward, we can know their relevance in the movie.
The ending part that triggers me to want to watch episode 2 is seeing the angels of darkness performing forced ritual just to be back in the world of which was successful.
So will there be another war in their world and how will that be done? More episodes will reveal that hopefully and I guess with the look of things from the way episode 1 ended, the action I'm expecting is just about to start.
