Lee Min-ki is flashy and badass in Quick
by | June 18, 2011 | 46 Comments

Man, this is the best movie trailer I’ve seen in a while. How can something that tells you so little about the movie — at least in terms of story — be so cool?

It doesn’t even show you its star’s face — and with Lee Min-ki (Chilling Romance, Haeundae) as the lead, it’s quite a pretty face at that — but it looks badass and totally entertaining, and stylish as hell.

Right??

Oh right, the story:

Quick is “speed-action blockbuster” (so, lots of fast things blowing up), whose title refers to the type of courier in Korea called “quick service delivery.” Our hero is one such courier who’s given the mission to convey a bomb within 30 minutes, which takes him through the heart of Seoul at super-high speeds.

The movie is produced by director Yoon Je-kyun, he of high-budget blockbuster mega-hit disaster movie Haeundae. So it’s not a surprise to see that Quick’s main cast has carried over from that film: aside from Lee Min-ki, there’s also Kang Ye-won (Hello Ghost) and Kim In-kwon (You’re Beautiful).

Kang gets to be the only woman in the cast, and plays a singer in a girl group who regularly uses quick delivery services due to her packed schedule. She gets caught up in the bomb terror incident and travels with Lee Min-ki on his 30-minute delivery mission.

Kim, on the other hand, plays a traffic officer, who’ll get to show off his comic chops again and sprinkle the movie with some levity. He joins in on the high-speed mission after trying to stop the others, and ends up caught up in the mayhem.

Quick is set to release on July 21.

      Or maybe Torque for the bikes, the trailer is flashy like Fast and Furious (whichever one of the movies), but Speed for the bomb thing.

    • 3.1 creidesca

      there’s another “poster” I think, it was used as an avatar on Quick’s naver blog here: http://blog.naver.com/quick_2011/

      saw some behind the scene photos of Min Ki from the movie’s cyworld cafe where he’s “hand wrestling” w/ several of the female staff–so cute his expression when he “loses”!

  4. rose

    i miss him so munch when will he do a small screen drama????

  5. Sylvia

    Sigh. Really not my kind of thing… I hope he’ll do a drama again soon, hopefully a quirky romcom!

  6. luvoldies

  11. 11 malta

    wow! This looks like its very well directed which is difficult for an action movie. My heart started beating faster from watching this trailer… and there’s no speaking in it.

    That girl whose skirt flew up at the beginning can’t act. Lol

    I want to ride on a bike with Lee Min ki. I sure many others want to with that first picture. Hawtness.

    • 17.1 dave

      yep, they were a couple in Haeundae.

  18. 18 Bengbeng

    i miss Minki in the small screen =(. when can we see him again in a kdrama?

    • 18.1 creidesca

      maybe when he gets casted as a king or commander? That looks like Min Ki’s wish according to his tweet back in May 2011.

  19. 19 bjharm

    not what you call the most original of plots but for these sort of film no one really watches for the story just the action and stunts.

  20. 20 janet

    whoa. that intro was almost reaching remix-levels of sound manipulation. would’ve been awesome if they went all out and did a remix type thing :)

  21. 21 lapetite

    Wow, it does look bad ass. I’m excited about seeing it, but I know a subbed version won’t be out for a while.

  22. 22 djes

    퀵! Hahaha what a cool title.
    Sounds promising though. I like this kind of movie..and yes Lee Minki is looking cool!

  23. 23 mud

    Yes! Some news of Lee Min-ki. Now, if only he returned to the small screen *sigh*

  24. 24 Jessica

    Haha oh man. Guys on motorbikes? The terror. Since they’re known as “rempits” in my country.

    • 24.1 mardie

  26. 26 Lizzy

  27. 27 Einna

    WOW! It is pretty slick! Well, I just love Lee Min Ki is back.

  28. 28 giddygirl108

  29. 29 kit

    HELLS YES

    i marathoned dal ja’s spring a couple of weeks ago and osdijfosidjfosidjfosdf it jumped up to being one of the best kdramas ever, and i’ve basically stalked everything lee min ki has ever done on this planet and i was so excited for this to come out +_+

  30. 30 tegami

    Don’t they have speed limits in South Korea??? Lol

    Anyways, I’m just totally happy because of Lee Min-ki ^^
    And to add to his beauty and hotness, he’s got an awesome voice to boot!
    GAAAH! HE. IS. PERFECT. TT__________TT

  31. 31 conan

    A Korean action big-(um… mega?) budget blockbuster? Ni-ice. Maybe I should watch this.

  32. 32 E-kun

    That was a good trailer but I’m going to insist I see one with Lee Min Ki’s face!

  33. 33 Mikee

    First of, I have to say “SORRY” Javabeans and Wilma (my friend).

    You and my friend need a pair of thick glasses! :) )) When you wrote, “It doesn’t even show you its star’s face — and with Lee Min-ki as the lead, it’s quite a pretty face at that — ” I was laughing with tears !! Sorry, but there is something off about his face. Maybe because I watched him in Xman and… he was… “dorkable”, but definitely not pretty. *Trying so hard to stop giggling

    I know my friend Wilma will be hot on her heels with this drama. I will never hear the end of it— I’ll be bombarded with updates thru emails *head down, realizes fate

    I do have a question about this, if there is a BOMB about to explode in 30 short minutes, would a simple cellphone call be a LOT quicker than a “quick” “pretty” courier?

    *still trying to STOPPPPP laughing

    • 33.1 creidesca

      from other sources, Min Ki’s character doesn’t know he was delivering “bombs”. He did notice that each location he stopped at to do his delivery exploded after he made the delivery and on one of the stops he picks up Kang Ye Won’s character who triggered a timing mechanism in the helmet he hands her to wear. Soon he gets a call from a mysterious person…

      Min Ki looks extremely cool sporting his then “new” haircut on the motorbike w/ his sunglasses (if you can find the photos taken by bystanders/fans during the filming sometime last year/early this year).

  34. 34 MJP

    This is MJP Hubby’s type of movie! It reminds me more of Jason Statham in The Transporter more than Speed.

    Since the lovely JavaBeans has provided such great resource materials, I think I will try to find more information about Haeundae too.

    Thank you, JavaBeans!

    Are there more Korean movies like this already out there? I know about The Man From Nowhere, but not too much about any other Korean movies, besides rom-coms of course!

    • 34.1 MJP

      Researched Haeundae, chillingly similar to what happened in Japan this year. Maybe not something I want to watch…

  35. 35 blahblahblah

    Has anyone seen a trailer for Chilling Romance? I want to see that so bad, and now this movie too. Lee Min Ki is so hot! I love action movies, so this will be fun :)

  36. 36 creidesca

    they’ve updated the movie’s hp: http://www.quick2011.co.kr/swf/main.html

    Min Ki looking good!

  37. 37 creidesca
