On the afternoon of the 25th, a press and distribution preview was held at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for the comedy film 『People Upstairs』 (directed by Jungwoo Ha, produced by Sidus and Workhouse Company). The premiere was attended by Jungwoo Ha as Kim, the husband of the upper house who came to make a different proposal, Gong Hyo-jin as Lim Jung-ah, the wife of the lower house who is curious about the different experience, Kim Dong-wook as Lee Hyun-soo, the husband of the lower house who is uncomfortable with the different proposal, and Lee Ha-nui as Choi Soo-kyung, the wife of the upper house, who wants to share a different experience.
Gong Hyo-jin, who reunited with Lee Ha-nee for the first time in a long time following the MBC drama 「Pasta」 aired in 2010, wondered "There is such a person from beauty to heart and passion." He is the younger brother who wants to be close to the next door. We were always rooting for each other. He made a big announcement to me on the third day of filming. I heard that precious life is in your stomach. He's acting while holding back his morning sickness. I acted with infinite power of positivity, and I was surprised to see that."
In response, Lee Ha-nee said, "'Pasta' was when I was too new. At that time, I think I watched Gong Hyo-jin's acting with a fascination of 'How can I act like that?' I really wanted to do my work again. I was wondering if there would be no chance to do it again in this life, but just in time came the suggestion of 'the people upstairs'. Gong Hyo-jin played a really pivotal role in this work. Perhaps I wouldn't have done this work without Gong Hyo-jin. At that time, he was pregnant with his second child, but there was something that the director and male actor could not say. However, I was able to finish this work because of Gong Hyo-jin's consideration. I've learned again that it's important with what kind of person I'm working with."
'People Upstairs' is a story about a couple upstairs and a couple downstairs having a night's dinner together due to the noise between floors every night. Jungwoo Ha, Gong Hyo-jin, Kim Dong-wook, and Lee Ha-nui appeared, and it is Jungwoo Ha's fourth directorial production after 'Roller Coaster'Huh Sam-gwan''Robbie'. It will be released on December 3rd.
