Ryu Seung-ryong and Park Shin-hye as a daddy-daughter duo

Aw. How cute. Ryu Seung-ryong has another movie coming out, and this time he plays Park Shin-hye’s dad in a quirky comedy about a convicted killer with the mind of a child. From Casanova to king-maker to daughter-crazy kook? This guy gets the best roles. The movie is called The Gift of Room 7, named for the harshest cell in a maximum security prison, where Dad becomes bunkmates with the baddest group of criminals around… and turns them into a bunch of cuddly ajusshis. Hee.

I love that the trailer starts out all doom and gloom, with the character being convicted of murder and being thrown in prison. You think he’s going to be some scary badass, but then he arrives in Room 7, and he turns out to be just a few marbles short. The cast of hardcore criminals and residents of Room 7 include Oh Dal-soo (Thieves), Kim Jung-tae (Dream High 2), Park Won-sang (Hero), and Jung Man-shik (King of Dramas). Basically your go-to gangsters in every other movie, just caught and living out their life sentences in this one.

The room full of scary badasses has no idea how to deal with Ryu Seung-ryong’s character Yong-gu, but because he’s so childlike they end up taking care of him, and start to become a makeshift family. Yong-gu only has one wish — to see his daughter Ye-seung (Park Shin-hye), but their cell block has an absolute no-visitors policy. So Room 7 decides they’re going to make his wish come true, and thus begins the ultimate prison break project… to break Ye-seung IN, so she can visit her dad. HA.

How cute is that? My heart is warmed already.

Directing is Lee Hwan-kyung, of the heartwarming Cha Tae-hyun-and-horse underdog story Champ. I adored that movie (featuring another great father-daughter relationship), which means I can’t wait for this one.

The Gift of Room 7 premieres January 24 in theaters.

hehe, I was thinking a little of Kyung-tae (Park Ki-woong character from Story of a Man), only because he appears to be a weird, nervous and the only non-gangster prisoner in the cell.

Wow, love the premise. Can't wait for the subtitles. I feel so sad that I'm reading about all these movies on this site but still have to wait so long before I can watch them. 2012 seems to be churning out a whole lot of great movies.

The best synopsis of the movie I've read so far. Thanks Javabeans!

I love Park Shin Hye, but even if she's not in it, I'm still sold with the ahjussis alone. I hope I can be there once it opens on theaters. Too bad. *wails*

I'm so glad to see Park Shin Hye back! Although I hope her role is minimal in this movie (and it seems like it is, based on the trailers), because this dad & ahjussi team seems absolutely adorable! I see some of my favourite dramaland supporting actors' faces, and so I'm pretty excited for this one. :3

you want the lead to be minor because you like supporting roles and you are glad that she is back?

what is there to be confused about? JC's happy about PSH's reappearance, but is more excited about the Room 7 relationship in the movie. liking someone isn't equivalent to wanting them to be the center of everything. i'm not getting even getting the impression that PSH is the a lead character in this movie. it seems like it'll center more on ryu seungryong and the room 7 ahjusshis.

Her Role not Minimal I just understanding your thinking why shin hye need supporting Role I am correcting that she is Female lead actress be happy is you can but one trailer is not confirm any thing .

I believe the story is built on the strong love between wrongly convicted father and his daughter who tries to prove his innocence. PSH is really underrated actress in my opinion. Please watch her special drama released this year "don't worry I'm a ghost" i am sure it will not be time wasted for anyone.

Sorry if I gave the impression that I think that way. My comment was in response to JC above....posted in the wrong place.
For me she is the best. I sometimes get the feeling that she is not appreciated as much as she should be. Some cannot look beyond her role in YB or HS....which I think were done so well making them so popular. Her TOH and DWIAG are really worth watching ....totally different roles. Since I have watched everything of hers from movies to dramas, CFs, interviews, modelling etc I know how good she is.

This is hilarious.

No Park Shin Hye in the trailer? Is she really in this movie?

I am admire Park Shin Hye - You're Beautiful is such a success and catapulted her popularity in the Hallyu world. but she's so admirable in the sense that she accepts leading roles, supporting roles and cameo roles. She was in High Kick, Gumiho, and King of Dramas because of her good working relationship with scriptwriters and directors.

After YAB, I thought she'll disregard anything but leading roles. But she didn't. She even starred in that digital camera short movie filmed by a not so popular actor who is her friend.

Really nice attitude Park Shin Hye. So glad that fame did not get into your head. keep it up.

I find in this story and the setting, possibilities of strong characterization and endless moments that pulls ones heartstrings. Therefore, no matter how small or big each character will greatly impact the movie.
Based around father daughter relationship, PSH's role will be a strong one too. Hence, her non-appearance in the trailer and the duration in the actual movie is not really significant.
Looking forward to having a great time watching this movie
