Synopsis
Kang Full's Timing is set in an unidentified city that is under a vague threat; a high school student committed suicide for no apparent reason and children are generally scared. A group of people with supernatural powers appear on the scene to put an end to the silent threat. The concept has been compared to that of X-Men and Heroes and has a fairly American style to it. Timing has been described as a "deliberately simplistic" thriller.
Adaptations
In 2010, production on an animated film film adaptation for Timing started. The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2012, but it was shelved for sponsorship reasons. The animated film was eventually released in October 2014, as it premiered at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. The animated film is directed by Min Kyung-jo, produced by Hyoin Entertainment, and features the voices of Park Ji-yoon, Um Sang-hyun, Ryu Seung-gon, Yeo Min-jeong, Sim Gyu-hyuk and Sung Wan-kyung. Timing was shown at the 17th Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival in May 2015, where it won the grand prize.
