Netflix is commencing production on new Korean action comedy thriller, “Husbands in Action,” featuring an unconventional rescue mission with a comedic twist.
The film follows Chung-sik, a dedicated Drug Squad detective, who must team up with his ex-wife’s current husband, Min-seok, a veterinarian, to rescue her from a dangerous criminal organization. Director Park Gyu-tae, known for his recent comedy hit “6/45,” will bring his characteristic wit and humor to the project.
Jin Sun-kyu (“Uprising,” “The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch”) will portray Chung-sik, while Gong Myoung (“Way Back Love,” “Citizen of a Kind”) takes on the role of Min-seok. Both actors previously worked together in the film “Extreme Job.”
The cast also includes Kim Ji-suk (“Recruit” Season 2, “When the Camellia Blooms”) as Do-joon, the tech-savvy drug gang leader; Yoon Kyung-ho (“The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call”) as rival gang leader Yong-gang; Kang Han-na (“About Family,” “Start-Up”) as Si-nae, who actively fights against her captors; and Lee Da-hee (“Single’s Inferno,” “The Divorce Insurance”) as Hye-ran, Do-joon’s wife and key player in the drug world.
“Husbands in Action” will be produced by TPS Company, the production house behind “6/45,” “Hard Hit,” “Seobok,” and “Fabricated City,” with Netflix handling distribution. The film will premiere exclusively on the streaming platform.
Netflix’s upcoming Korea slate includes “Lost in Starlight,” the platform’s first Korean animated feature; “Wall to Wall” (also known as “84 Square Meters”), which explores housing anxieties central to contemporary Korean society; 1998 Busan-set youth romance “Love Untangled”; “Mantis,” a spinoff from the hit “Kill Boksoon”; “Good News,” a 1970s-set hijacking drama; and “Great Flood,” a sci-fi disaster film.
