Libera Me (2000)

A Korean remake of Ron Howard's Hollywood blockbuster BACKDRAFT, LIBERA ME follows the conflagrant adventures of a group of Seoul firefighters as they battle their city's raging blazes with heroic intensity. Adding difficulty to the already dangerous work is the prison release of serial arsonist Hee Yeo (Seung-won Cha), whose psychotic compulsion to start fires springs from a tragic childhood incident. Now it's up to firefighters Sang-woo Jo (Min-su Choi) and his partner Hyun-tae Kim (Ji-tae Yu) to track down the pyromaniac before his fiery obsession engulfs the city in flames, resulting in a nailbiting spectacle of special effects and action sequences.
