Set In 1980, Ho Chang works as a staff member for a college baseball team. He’s planning a dream vacation but his plans get derailed by a new assignment. He’s ordered to scout Sun Dong Eul, the most sought after high school baseball player in Korea.
Ho Chang goes to Kwang-Ju to scout Sun Dong. He finds it more difficult than expected as rival scouts from other universities are hindering his plans. Furthermore, he meets his ex girlfriend and her low-life boyfriend who starts threatening Ho Chang.
To make things worse, the baseball player’s parents do not appear to be on Ho Chang’s side. Rumors also say that Sun Dong was already scouted by rival teams. Ho Chang is unable to even get a meeting with Sun Dong, so Ho Chang takes matters into his own hands. He decides to kidnap him!
“Scout” is a fun sports based comedy. Before you watch the movie I will give you a tip. Sun Dong Eul is actually a real baseball player. He is somewhat of a legend in Korean baseball history. I think back then, all the scouts were in a hysteria to recruit him. If you know that, it will be a lot more fun to watch. Also, the director, Hyeon-seok Kim, is no stranger to sports/comedies. His first film was “YMCA Baseball team”, which was also a comedy centered around the game of baseball. “YMCA Baseball Team” wasn’t very successful, but this time around let’s see if using a real life baseball legend will appeal more to audiences.
