Lee Jong-seok and Seo In-gook swim for gold
by girlfriday
Aaaaaaand, that right there is why I’m watching this movie. As if I needed any other incentive, right? The first posters, teasers, and stills for swimming movie No Breathing are out, and they don’t disappoint — Lee Jong-seok (I Hear Your Voice) and Seo In-gook (Master’s Sun) lead a cast of pretty boys stripping down and getting wet. FOR THE SWIMMING. The swimming! What were you thinking?
Lee Jong-seok plays the perfect star athlete golden boy on his way to becoming a national swimmer, while Seo In-gook plays the dark horse, the naturally gifted swimmer who has for some reason stopped competing altogether. They were friends and rivals even as boys, and always swam together when they were young. But one day Seo In-gook runs away from everything and becomes a shut-in. He eventually ends up transferring schools where he comes face to face with his old rival and begins to swim again. But whatever that mysterious backstory is, it keeps him from competing directly with Lee Jong-seok.
Lee Jong-seok’s character is already a national star, known as Korea’s Marine Boy (what they actually call gold medalist Park Tae-hwan in real life). But he was stripped of his spot on the national team for an undisclosed incident, and so he goes back to square one to train again, which is where he meets ex-friend and rival Seo In-gook. SNSD’s Yuri plays the love interest, who was friends with both boys as children.
Half-nekkid Lee Jong-seok and Seo In-gook aside, I am actually looking forward to the story itself, because I just never tire of a good underdog sports movie, and because I know it’s written by the screenwriter of The Gift of Room 7 and Korea. Plus, with a good rivalry and bromance at the center of it — not to mention abs — what’s not to love?
No Breathing hits theaters October 31.

I saw the trailer on the big screen today here in Seoul (waiting to watch Snowpiercer) and just about had a nosebleed. Is Lee Jong-suk a little thin? Yeah, but so are some world class swimmers. Seo In-guk doesn't need to change a thing.

So, I'm guessing when they entitled this movie "No Breathing" they were referring to the audience.

This looks and sounds good. Love both of these guys, but right now I'm a little more into Seo In-gook. I hope this comes to America soon, so I can see it.

Now I know why the movie's called "No Breathing". I forgot to breathe when watching the body rolls under water and abs fest. I can't even imagine how I'll survive the actual movie!
First thing that came to my mind though, is that if this story is a delicious bromance one it will be amazing to edit. Plus both Jong Seok and In Guk can play bromance really well. Yay!

SEO.IN.GUK. nuff said!
haven't posted on DB in many years, although I come to the site daily and adore JB & GF as if they were my own sisters. but this post has compelled me to join my one small voice to the beanut gallery:
"Seo In Guk: 'wah' are you so lovely, you Gyeongsangdo boy?!?"

*Praying to the heavens above that this movie is put online and subbed immediately after it's release*
Seo In Guk had the perfect body in Reply 1997 all he needed was to tone up a little. I don't know why they made him lose weight for this movie. He still looks good though with those broad shoulders of his...*stares anddrools*.....um...of course I'm really watching the movie for the plot though. *coughs*
Hopefully Yuri plays a very VERY minor part as the love interest and It focuses mostly on the boys rivalry and friendship. That and lots of shirtless scenes will make for a perfect movie IMO. LOL

The title of this movie was exactly what happened to me when I saw the pics. How can there be so much sexy in one pic? How? while they're at it can they shoot topless pics of the boys from Heirs too? I would die. :">

I haven't actually posted a comment on dramabeans in so long (I know, I feel ashamed) but this entry just deserved one. HOT DAMN, that first poster..
These two should definitely do lots more projects together, lots and lots and lots.

I found myself grinning -__________- non-stop.
By the way the beginning of this storyline reminds me of a Japanese BL movie I've watched before. That's also about swimming.
And, of course there's Seo In-guk's BL MV of K.Will's song:

I can't stop thinking this movie will definitely give a strong BL hint.
Ahh, Lee Jong-suk, miss you already!
