'Gwanghae, The Man Who Became King' Directed by Director Chu Chang-min
The late Lee Seon-gyun's final work, "Land of Happiness," is unveiled. Distributor NEW announced on the 10th that the release is confirmed for August.
The drama depicts the trial of the 1979 presidential assassination case. It focuses on Park Tae-joo, whose life and death are decided by a single verdict, and lawyer Jung In-hoo, who struggles to save him.
The former is portrayed by Lee Seon-gyun. He plays a righteous soldier caught up in an event that shook modern Korean history. The latter is played by Jo Jung-suk, who has shown remarkable growth through films like "The Face Reader" and "Exit," as well as the drama "Hospital Playlist." He depicts a lawyer who believes that in court, there is only winning or losing, not justice. Another key character, Jeon Sang-doo, is portrayed by Yoo Jae-myung, known for his powerful performances in films such as "Voice of Silence" and "Kingmaker."
The film is directed by Choo Chang-min, who attracted over 10 million viewers with "Masquerade." The production was jointly carried out by Papas Film and Oscar10 Studio.
