Kim Dae-seung (Korean: 김대승; born June 18, 1967) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter.

Career

After graduating from

Chunhyang
(2000).

Kim made his directorial debut with Bungee Jumping of Their Own (2001), a melodrama about homosexuality and reincarnation. Despite its taboo subject, the film was received well by audiences and critics due to Kim's sensitive direction and the acting by leads Lee Byung-hun and Lee Eun-ju.[1][2]

He subsequently directed

Joseon Dynasty.[3] The surprise casting of Cha Seung-won (then-known for comedic roles)[4] and newcomer Park Yong-woo paid off, resulting in critical acclaim and an unexpectedly robust box office.[5] Blood Rain received multiple acting and technical nominations from local award-giving bodies, and won Best Film at the Chunsa Film Art Awards, the Baeksang Arts Awards, and the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival
.

Kim's third film was based on the true story of the

Pusan International Film Festival.[9][10]

In 2011, Kim directed Q&A as part of If You Were Me 5, an omnibus commissioned by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.[11] Starring television star Kim Hyun-joo, the short film denounced the collection and control of personal information that leads to sexual harassment in the Korean male-dominated workplace.[1][12]

Kim returned to feature filmmaking in 2012 with the erotic period drama

Jo Yeo-jeong, Kim Dong-wook and Kim Min-jun.[13][14] The film, which delves into sexual politics and its role in a power struggle within the royal court, was a hit following its early summer release.[1][15]
