Um Jung-hwa will once again make a comeback as the main character Lee Mi-young in the follow-up film 'Okay Madame 2', which will be released in about five years following the much-loved movie 'Okay Madame 2' in the summer of 2020. It is expected to provide exciting fun by leading a new story in the work with upgraded action and pleasant charm.
'Okay Madame 2' is an action comedy in which a family member who conducted an airplane rescue operation at a high altitude gets caught up in an unpredictable incident when they receive a mysterious invitation to a luxury cruise ship. The rich lineup of original members and new members, who led the success of the previous work, is already raising expectations for the audience.
Earlier, Um Jung-hwa played the role of Mi-young, who runs a twisted bread stick shop in the market while hiding the identity of the past in 'Okay Madame', simultaneously showing the warm humanity toward her family and the charisma of the hero displayed in the crisis. It perfectly harmonized the hot, bare-bodied action and comical acting, boosting the play's vitality with its unique energy, and vividly captured the perfect marital chemistry with her husband Seok-hwan (Park Sung-woong), providing a variety of joys that could not be taken off their eyes with their lovely presence.
Eom Jung-hwa, who returned to the region from the follow-up 'Okay Madame 2', is responsible for the center of the play. Following the plane rescue operation, this time, he will be caught up in a mysterious incident on a luxury cruise and perform a thrilling comic action. In particular, it foreshadows a `fresh shot' that has become more powerful with passionate energy and charisma, so expectations are high for Uhm Jung-hwa's fresh performance that will catch both laughter and thrill.
Uhm Jung-hwa, who has provided empathy and healing across genres such as human, romance and comedy as well as action, returned to the small screen splendidly as she played a top star audience member with a career break in the original genie TV drama 「My Star」, which ended in September. With a wide range of acting spectrums that vary genres, he achieved an exciting character performance that caught both viewership and buzz, proving once again his reputation as a self-proclaimed 'Happiness Queen'.
Uhm Jung-hwa, who has clearly drawn her own color based on her solid acting skills and colorful charm, has established herself as a 'all-time legend' in name and reality. With acting moves that do not place limits on genres and characters, each work is showing a new face, attracting public expectations. Attention is focused on Um Jung-hwa's next transformation, which is constantly evolving.
Meanwhile, 'Okay Madame 2', which contains Uhm Jung-hwa's cool performance, was cranked up in October and filming is underway.
