New Year's moviegoers are being treated to laughs by the film Heartman (director Choi Won-seop, distributed/provided by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Movierock, Like M Company), and another buzzworthy character appears as Kwon Sang-woo's wife in the film, Shin So-yul, delivering comic moments in the story.
Heartman, which is delivering laughter and warm energy to theaters in the new year and sustaining long-running box office word-of-mouth, draws attention with Shin So-yul appearing as Ji-woo, Seung-min (Kwon Sang-woo)'s ex-wife. Following Hwang Wooseul-hye, who received great love for her role as Mina, Jun (Kwon Sang-woo)'s wife in the Hitman series, Shin So-yul appears in this work as the protagonist of another wife-centered storyline, attracting audience interest.
In Heartman, Shin So-yul appears as Ji-woo, a figure connected to Seung-min's past, leaving a brief but strong presence. In the released stills, moments capturing when she was an ardent fan of Seung-min are shown, allowing viewers to infer the background that led her to marry after failing in her first love with Bona. Shin So-yul drew natural laughter and audience sympathy with her playful back-and-forth with Kwon Sang-woo and a realistic rapport.
Following Hwang Wooseul-hye's portrayal of a down-to-earth wife character in the Hitman series, Shin So-yul completes a different charm in Heartman with blunt speech. Even within an understated acting tone, Shin So-yul's clear impression supports the film's comedy and emotional line in balance, offering audiences a fresh kind of fun.
Heartman, featuring a cast of distinctive characters, is a comedy about Seung-min (Kwon Sang-woo), a man who has returned and struggles to not lose the first love he meets again, but finds himself with a secret he absolutely cannot tell her, and is now showing nationwide in theaters.
