This shows that Korean gambling society is very dangerous and scary, lot scarier than America. People think NY private house games are shady but it's nothing compared to Korean house games. The fact that Hanafuda cards are lot smaller and harder than poker playing cards makes allows card sharps and mechanics to cheat in so many ways. Only gambling society that can be more dangerous than Korea is probably China. Afterall, they're the art of gambling and invented it all.
I should've been more specific. I meant to say card and dice games. Lot of card games and dice games date back to China if you think about it. For instance, poker dates back to China. Cards with numbers are from China but Britain added jacks, queens, kings, etc.
Tazza is a person who's pro with hanafuda cards(hwatu) and win either by cheating or being very sharp. It's simply a translation of card sharp or mechanic.
Go Stop is a name of a game using hwatu, just like the way Texas Hold'em is a name of a game using poker playing cards.
Does anyone know what kind of shades is Agwee wearing? Great movie BTW.
