[K-Film Trailer and Info] Our Happy Time (우리들의 행복한 시간)

After Failan (파이란) and Rikidozan (역도산), director Song Hye-Seong’s (송해성) new film is a serious melodrama based on the best-selling book by Kong Ji-Young.

Lee Na-Young (이나영), the charming star of Someone Special (아는 여자) and Please Teach Me English (영어완전정복), finds herself in a darker role, portraying a woman who attempts suicide on several occasions. She ends up forming a bond with a death-row prisoner, played by Kang Dong-Won (강동원). Kang was previously seen in Lee Myung-Se’s Duelist (형사), as Sad Eyes.

So it’s a tear jerker with two hot stars, and while it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it certainly appeals to the Korean audience – the tickets are selling like hot cakes, and the movie already crossed 1.2 million admissions since it opened on September 14.

Our Happy Time was produced by LJ Film (LJ 필름) and is distributed by Prime Entertainment (프라임엔터테인먼트).
