An action-drama film about a loving son who will do anything and everything for his mother, “The Guardian” follows the story of Park Do Jun (Nam Woo Hyun) and his mother Mi-jin (Park Eun Hye), Korean nationals who moved to the Philippines.
Back in Korea, Do Jun showed talent in taekwondo and dreamt of becoming a national player, but he gave that all up to be with his mom.
Though Do Jun has a great amount of love for his mother, they’ve always had a strained relationship because of Mi-jin’s gambling addiction.
Over the years, Mijin’s gambling problem worsens to the point that Do Jun drops out of college to find a job and support himself.
He befriends Sandara (Yassi Pressman), who dreams of becoming a K-pop star, and Coco (Eric Ejercito).
More troubles ensue after Mi-jin was kidnapped by the notorious gang leader (Han Jae Seok) who runs the largest Korean criminal organization in the Philippines.
It’s now up to Do Jun to rescue Mi-jin no matter what. As he risks his life and everything that he has, will he be able to succeed, or will Do Jun be too late to protect his mother?
The film is a collaborative effort involving Parallax Studio, Robosheep Studios, GV Labs, Will Studios, Viva Films and Ovation Productions.
