Ha Jung-woo vs Lee Byung-hun playing golf..Sports movies from lobby to game



The black comedy film 『Robbie" (directed by Jungwoo Ha, produced by the Workhouse Company, produced by Film Momentum) and the human drama film 『Victory" (directed by Kim Hyung-joo, produced by Moonlight) are setting themselves up as movies that will lead the theater industry.

With extraordinary sports materials being considered as the official box office of the theater this spring, the two masterpieces leading the theater industry will compete in good faith to open the spring of Korean movies.

First of all, 'Robbie', which has emerged as the hottest film at the moment with favorable reviews of 'Strange and Fun Movies', is a story about Changwook (Jungwoo Ha), the CEO of a startup who only knew about research, starting his first lobbying golf to win a national project worth 4 trillion won. Jungwoo Ha, who took the megaphone for the first time in more than a decade, is capturing the public's hearts by bringing the DNA of the prequel 'Roller Coaster', but creating 'Robbie' with an upgraded speech taste and his own brilliant idea.




Using the material of golf as a means of lobbying, the idea was that various businesses came and went within the golf course. The movie, which combines cinematic imagination with the world of lobby golf, is also praised for casting popular actors with solid acting skills and personality in the right place, and making use of the words and the charm of the characters.

"Victory", which has revitalized the theater district, which has been stagnant since its release on March 26, is a movie about Korea's best Go legend Cho Hoon-hyun (Lee Byung-hun) once again challenging the top with his natural temperament after losing the match against his student Lee Chang-ho (Lee Yoo Ah-in).

In the past, a movie about a sport called Baduk that the whole nation loved and a true story of a teacher and a student's fierce victory and defeat, 『Battle』 is captivating the audience with the dramatic pleasure and emotion delivered after the desperate match, along with the perfect acting skills of luxury actor Lee Byung-hun.




Lee Byung-hun, the leading actor of the film, collaborated with Ha Jung-woo in 『Baekdusan』, so it is expected that the two works, which represent Korean films, will bring new vitality to the theater.
