Director Byun SeongHyun and actor Sul KyungGu have reunited.
The Netflix movie "Good News," which has attracted considerable attention after being officially invited to the special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, is set to be released on October 17. "Good News" depicts the dubious operations of a group of people determined to land a hijacked plane by any means necessary in 1970.
The released teaser poster captures attention with the striking visuals of the mysterious troubleshooter "AmuGae" (Sul KyungGu) and elite Air Force lieutenant "Seo GoMyung" (Hong Kyung). In 1970, a passenger plane hijacked by a Japanese communist group heads toward Pyongyang, prompting the governments of Japan and Korea to mobilize all means and methods to resolve the situation. The mysterious troubleshooter "AmuGae," whose name and origin remain shrouded in secrecy, receives orders from the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Park SangHyun (Ryu SeungBeom) to land the aircraft at all costs and formulates a secret operation. With a sharp mind, quick thinking, and adaptable response skills, the expression of "AmuGae," who quietly solves the country's major issues without any name or profession, foreshadows the immense difficulty of the incident he must resolve.
Meanwhile, elite Air Force lieutenant "Seo GoMyung," unexpectedly mobilized for the secret operation, must deceive the kidnappers and undertake the urgent mission of hijacking the stolen passenger plane again from the ground. Following "AmuGae's" operation, the solemn image of "Seo GoMyung," as if he is in the troubleshooter's mind, raises questions about whether he can successfully complete this mission and face a golden future.
The released announcement trailer, which includes "The facts that happened, a bit of creativity, and the will to believe. When these three things come together well..." spoken by "AmuGae," depicts the intense secret operation of characters struggling on the ground to land the kidnapped passenger plane in Korea, amplifying curiosity. With a lively rhythm of music in the background, the transformation of Gimpo International Airport into Pyongyang Airport raises questions about how the unprecedented operation led by "AmuGae," "Seo GoMyung," and Park SangHyun will be completed.
"Sometimes the truth lies," says "Seo GoMyung," to which "AmuGae" responds, "And lies speak the truth," adding the tagline "that news like a lie." This stirs the imagination of viewers worldwide, questioning whether their operation can indeed produce the 'good news' as the title suggests.
The film "Good News," featuring the unique direction of director Byun SeongHyun, whose works span a variety of genres, and the intense acting synergy of the actors depicting the confrontations of unique characters, promises fresh excitement and will be released exclusively on Netflix on October 17.
