Yoon Jin-seo teams with Kim Jung-hoon in Punchline
A year after starring in the I-fell-in-love-with-twins, melo-mystery movie
Secret Love,
Yoon Jin-seo is taking a lighter approach with her next film project: She’s starring in
Punchline, a human comedy that sounds like it straddles the line between thoughtful and light-hearted.
Yoon Jin-seo plays the aide to an upright, moral politician (I know!
That mythical unicorn) who is elected as a new minister, who sets out to
wipe out all corruption. Yoon’s character is an energetic and devoted
aide, but still on the lookout for the meaning of happiness in her
personal life. She’s described as cute and lively, which brings to mind
her adorably feisty cop character in last year’s
Runaway Plan B.
Played by
Athena and
East of Eden’s
Yoo Dong-geun, the minister juggles his official duty with his other role as father; he and son
Kim Jung-hoon (
Witch Amusement, Goong)
have a contentious relationship. I’m going to speculate that the aide
has a hand in their eventual reconciliation…and provides a potential
love interest?
This will be Kim’s first movie following his army release, although
not his official comeback — that’ll be the upcoming tvN series
I Need Romance, the
Sex and the City-esque cable drama starring
Jo Yeo-jung as a single careerwoman in the city. I’m less excited about him than
Yoon, since I don’t think he’s really shown much yet in his acting
choices (to be fair,
Witch Amusement did nobody any favors), but if the stars have good chemistry together, I could see this being cute.
Punchline is set to begin filming shortly, and plans for a release later this year.
