The story revolves around KimGonni(Cho Seung Woo),who loses all his money to a tajja while playing the traditional Korean gambling game 'Hwatoo'.

Coming out of the theater, I thought it was the best movie I have ever seen. I myself didn't expect to be impressed with the film Tajja,which is based on the hit comic with the same name. Movies about gambling are very rare in Korea,and none have been a smash hit.
It's safe to say that TAJJA will inspire many more gambling features, though it would be hard to surpass the originality and style of this film. The energy of the narrative is matched by the plot's daunting complexity, but the film journeys into surprising areas. The narrative almost manages to support a love story, though there's no room in a gambler's heart for true love.

The narrative is set out in a series of 'lessons' any prospective gambler must learn with each lesson, the risks become increasingly challenging. As such, this often feels like THE STING, but with a more brutal core. Most intriguing of all is the Korean card game that frames the action - a game that attracts die-hard gamblers and a small group of cheats who live off the system.
TAJJA has style to burn, and from the very start, there's flashbacks, split-screens, hyperbolic action, and the expected doses of melodrama in the story of a young gambler's rise to fame. Hong Kong gambling flicks go in and out of fashion, but the genre is relatively new in South Korean cinema, and TAJJA can be extraordinarily entertaining.
