－An industry first! If you don't like it, you can get the full amount back in T-POINT－

Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd.'s Entertainment Division will begin renting "10 Thieves," which has attracted over 13 million viewers in Korea, breaking the previous record in six years, at TSUTAYA stores nationwide starting tomorrow, August 21st.

"The Thieves" is also a hot topic due to the appearance of Soo-hyun Kim, who has appeared in such films as "Moon Embracing the Sun" and "Will It Snow for Christmas?", as well as Yoon-seok Kim from "The Chaser" and Ji-hyun Jun from "My Sassy Girl." Soo-hyun Kim is gaining popularity among TSUTAYA's Asian drama fans. It attracted 13 million viewers in Korea on the 66th day, and in just 70 days it broke the record for the highest audience numbers in the history of Korean films, surpassing films such as "Shiri" and "The Host." It was also a huge hit throughout Asia, including Hong Kong, and was released in the United States, where it is considered one of Asia's greatest trick entertainment blockbusters.

A gang of thieves from Korea and China gather to steal the world's only legendary diamond, "Tears of the Sun," from a huge casino. Their plan is perfect, but the ambition of 10 people and the love of 3 people derail their plans. The clever script captivates viewers with unexpected developments, and movie buffs at TSUTAYA have described the film as "even more entertaining than 'Shiri'" and "the most entertaining film of the year."You can enjoy the film two or three times over, by rewatching the original Japanese version dubbed by a stellar cast of voice actors, or by reading the foreshadowing and psychological portrayals of the work from each of the 10 characters' perspectives.

Furthermore, as the film has been praised by movie buffs at TSUTAYA as "the most entertaining film of the year," TSUTAYA hopes that more people, including those who normally watch Korean dramas, will watch and evaluate the film, and as a film that TSUTAYA is confident in recommending this summer, they will be offering a "full points refund if you don't find it entertaining" campaign. This is a film that I highly recommend even to those who usually watch Hollywood blockbusters and Japanese films but don't watch Asian films.
