The Kansas City Royals’ odyssey to the 2014 World Series ran parallel with the equally improbable journey of SungWoo Lee. A die-hard Royals fan who lived in Seoul, SungWoo had not only charmed the faithful in a visit to Kansas City in the summer of 2014, but he also seemed to spark the team to the run that took it to the postseason. This film takes us from Kansas City to South Korea and back again on the eve of the World Series as our filmmakers try to convince SungWoo’s bosses to let him come to the Fall Classic. It’s a tale of two cultures linked by social media, but more than that, #BringBackSungWoo is a moving tribute to a game that shrinks the world. As one of SungWoo’s Kansas City friends says, “He’s one of us with a different address.”
Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
