Kidnapping Granny K is a 2007 comedy film from South Korea, directed by Kim Sang-jin.The story starts with three petty crooks in desperate straits. Moon Geun Young is in a state of suicidal depression after losing all his money in an Uzbekistani catfishing faux-marriage operation. His buddy Do-Bum is in dire need of $20,000 in order to get his girlfriend out of prison, because 1) she's pregnant and 2) she's threatening to rat on him for being involved in the petty scam that got her incarcerated. Her brother Jong-man is basically a garden-variety idiot.These three bumblers hit on the idea of kidnapping "Granny" Kwon, the rich and prosperous owner of a chain of noodle restaurants, and holding her for $50,000 ransom. They manage to kidnap Granny K, though not without getting stung by a swarm of bees and exposing their faces to her niece. Crotchety, irascible Granny K is offended when her kidnappers say they're asking for $50K, claiming that she should be worth much more. Then, when Granny's selfish, self-involved children are literally too busy to respond to the kidnappers' ransom calls, Granny takes charge of her own kidnapping, asking for a much larger sum—and she turns out to be a far more competent criminal. A complication arises, however, in the form of Jae-Do the police chief, a skilled investigator that is sort of a godson to Granny K and cares about her a lot more than her own children do. | |

You Can Keep Her! | |
| Kidnapping Granny K / int_158bb31a | comment |
You Can Keep Her: The initial reaction of Granny's children when receiving ransom calls. Her eldest son is too busy running for political office, her second son is too busy gambling, and her eldest daughter is too busy with business. (The youngest daughter doesn't even field the call as she is too busy having sex.) | |

Auto Erotica | |
| Kidnapping Granny K / int_798a9e41 | comment |
Auto Erotica: Granny's younger daughter does not answer the kidnappers' call because she is busy enthusiastically humping a man in the back seat of a car. Actually, she accidentally does answer the phone while trying to turn it off, which leads to Granny and the kidnappers getting to listen to her daughter's sex noises. | |

Brawn Hilda: One of Granny's friends is a staggeringly huge young woman, who appears to be about seven feet tall and is built like a rhinoceros. The gang wind up hiding out at her house. (The scene where the three kidnappers flee in terror from Granny's giant friend is pretty much the moment where Granny takes control.) | |
