Netflix seems to follow a very specific recipe for his Korean content, movie-wise at least, with the majority of the titles being action-oriented, featuring impressive visuals and at least one star in the cast. “Ballerina”, which premiered in this year's Busan before beginning its rather successful streaming path, definitely ticks all the boxes, being a rather stylish, revenge actioner featuring Jeon Jong-seo of “Burning” and “Money Heist: Korea” in the protagonist role, and Park Yu-rim of “Drive My Car” as the reason behind the revenge.

Ballerina is a South Korean action thriller film directed by Lee Chung-hyun, starring Jun Jong-seo, Kim Ji-hun, and Park Yu-rim.
“Ballerina” is a stylish revenge thriller with a changing pace and a solid performance by Jun Jong-seo, who leads the cast in this film of villains and heroes with a satisfying final sequence.

The film demonstrates the wisdom of restraint.
