Actor Kwon Sang-woo stars in the comedy film Heartman, which has risen to the top of the Korean film pre-booking rate ahead of its release, showcasing its strong box office potential.
According to the integrated computer network of the Korean Film Council, as of 5 PM on the 11th, just days before its release, Heartman has topped the Korean film pre-booking rate, surpassing fierce competitors. The fact that director Choi Won-seop, who directed the Hitman series, and actor Kwon Sang-woo have teamed up once again has generated significant buzz since the production stage.
Heartman is a comedy film that depicts the chaos that ensues when the protagonist, Seung-min, struggles to win back his first love, leading to a secret that he cannot reveal. Kwon Sang-woo's unique and playful comedic performance, along with the fresh combination of distinctive actors such as Moon Chae-won, Park Ji-hwan, and P.O, is stimulating audience expectations.
Following the press screening, critics have praised the film for its solid story, the passionate performances of the actors, and the music that enhances the film's atmosphere. In particular, Kwon Sang-woo's unique comedic action and emotional acting have been recognized as elevating the film's quality, making the term 'genre' seem fitting for him.
With a pleasant start by recording the number one pre-booking rate before its release, Heartman is drawing attention to whether it can provide refreshing laughter in theaters this summer and achieve long-term box office success. The film Heartman is set to officially release in theaters nationwide on the 14th.
