Ryu Seung-beom, Eom Ji-won, Shin Ha-kyun
It’s been a while since we’ve had a sex comedy come out (it seems?): the “bright, sexy romantic comedy” movie Festival has announced its cast, and it’s packed with name actors. Taking the lead are Ryu Seung-beom, Eom Ji-won, and Shin Ha-kyun in the film written and directed by Lee Hae-young of films like No Manners (which he wrote) and Like a Virgin (which he directed).
The movie is set in a “wholesome neighborhood where four suspicious couples live sly lives.” The four groups are arranged as follows:
(1) Thirst‘s husband Shin Ha-kyun pairs with The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry‘s bubbly Eom Ji-won. He’s a frustrated police officer whose confidence in his sexual prowess takes a hit when he discovers his live-in girlfriend’s vibrator. Eom is an English teacher who buys the gadget on a whim and sends her boyfriend into emotional tumult.
(2) Everybody Cha Cha Cha‘s Shim Hye-jin teams with Chuno‘s twisted slave hunter Sung Dong-il. She’s the elegant proprietor of a hanbok shop, but one day finds herself unexpectedly excited at the sight of a whip and handcuffs, and starts to enjoy “a secret private life.” Sung owns a hardware store and is known by neighbors as being a gentle, warm-hearted guy, but that’s because they don’t know what happens after he discovers her interest.
(3) Chungmuro favorite Ryu Seung-beom is back to flexing his comic chops as he couples up with 20-year-old Baek Jin-hee (Bandhobi, Loving You a Thousand Times) as a “mysterious” guy who resists the advances of a high school girl. Despite his non-reaction, she throws herself all over him.
(4) Thirst‘s Oh Dal-soo, who frequently plays comic and/or creepy oddballs, plays a high school teacher with a fetish for the feel of lingerie.
The film will begin filming in March and is aiming for a release later this year.

Ahh……HOW interesting — I don’t mind that I’d like to watch this that what’s going with them, heh……Very curiously. ((smirks))
well, sung dong il is rockin’ it in chuno as the twisted chun ji ho, so it’d be interesting to see how he morphs into a ‘gentle, warm-hearted guy’. i confess i can’t quite imagine it right now!
Ooooh~ Sounds like fun… I love me some Shin Ha Kyun and I’m so used to watching him in darker fare so I’m interested to see how he would play this part!
Sung Dong Il plays a relatively sweet driver in Lawyers of Korea.
This sounds awesome. I’m going to cross my fingers that it’ll stay that way as time goes on.
