Actor Ryu Seung-ryong stars in the comedy film Amazon Hwalmyungsoo, which distributor Barunson E&A announced will be released this October.
Amazon Hwalmyungsoo (directed by Kim Chang-joo) tells the story of Jinbong (Ryu Seung-ryong), a former national archery athlete, who meets Bbangsik (Jin Seon-kyu), a Korean-Toledorean interpreter, and three Amazon warriors blessed with divine archery skills. Following the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the archery team won five gold medals, public interest in archery has surged. This likely influenced the decision to release the film.
Ryu Seung-ryong plays Jinbong, a former national archery medalist and a perpetually struggling middle manager facing restructuring, while Jin Seon-kyu portrays Bbangsik, who acts as a bridge to narrow the language and cultural gaps among the Amazon warriors but inadvertently causes trouble. The film is a collaboration between writer Bae Se-young, known for Perfect Strangers (2018) and Extreme Job (2019), and director Kim Chang-joo, who previously worked as the editor for Restricted Call (2018).
