Howling (2012): Cast, Box Office, Plot & Where to Watch

Mapo District, Seoul — Jo Sang-gil, Song Kang-ho, a seasoned detective and a single father to a young son Lee Tae-ri and daughter, is assigned the seemingly straightforward case of a man, Oh Gyeong-il, who set fire to himself inside a car. Chafing at his lack of promotion after so long on the police force, but under pressure from his boss-cum-friend, he grudgingly agrees to work with rookie detective Cha Eun-young, Lee Na-young, a 30-year-old divorcee who has just been transferred from motorcycle patrol duty. The dead man, who had drugs in his system, has a large dog-bite on his thigh but no fingerprints. The police discover the immolation was not suicide but was triggered by a timer in the victim’s trouser belt.
