Koo Kyo-hwan's trailer for "Revival Man," who gets stronger the more he dies, is drawing attention.
The film "Revival Man: The Red," which promises an original premise, impact-packed action and a delightful chemistry, released its main trailer.
"Revival Man: The Red" (director Baek, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Yong Film, co-produced by Superfiction·YLAB·Studio Nungil) tells the story of job seeker "Seok-hwan" (Koo Kyo-hwan), whose only qualification is unfounded confidence, who learns that he has the ability to revive within 72 hours after dying and then becomes the target of a mysterious pursuit.
The released main trailer captures the ordinary job seeker "Seok-hwan," who has a hot temper and often fails interviews, repeatedly dying and gradually becoming stronger, which grabs attention.
After being attacked by a mysterious group that broke into his home, "Seok-hwan" wakes up three days later, realizes he has the ability to revive, and is relentlessly chased when "Black" (Shin Seung-ho), who notices this, utters the cold line "it's you." In addition, "Black's" ability to control others does not work on "Seok-hwan," and the two come into even sharper conflict. Kang Ki-young's character "Yeong-ha," a work-savvy colleague who stays by "Seok-hwan's" side, navigates crises using the excuse of mulberry wine, promising lighthearted fun even as they are caught up in unpredictable events. The character "Ye-rin" (Kim Si-a), who delivers realistic nagging to "Seok-hwan" with lines like "Do you know why you can't do it, oppa?", raises expectations for the realistic sibling chemistry between the two characters.
Along with the copy "the more you die, the stronger you get!", the image of "Seok-hwan," whose hair gradually turns red and who demonstrates superhuman strength the more he is revived, raises expectations for Koo Kyo-hwan's new character transformation. Especially, the relentless action that proceeds at a fast tempo—from ultra-powerful fights in everyday places like hotels, churches and underground parking lots to a refreshing car chase through the middle of the city—delivers an immersive experience you can't take your eyes off.
With a main trailer that contains an unpredictable story and dynamic spectacle like this, "Revival Man: The Red" is expected to deliver an unprecedented catharsis to audiences this fall.
Meanwhile, Koo Kyo-hwan is appearing in three varied works this year across film and drama, including the films "Once We Were Us" and "Colony" and the drama We Are All Trying Here. All have been successful at the box office, which has increased interest in "Revival Man."
