'The Journey to Gyeongju' released a group family photo full of genuine family moments.
Even in its third week of release, The Journey to Gyeongju, which has sparked a word-of-mouth craze amid enthusiastic praise and fervent support from real audience members, has unveiled the 'Gyeongju family photo' that highlights the actors' perfect synergy.
Amid an overwhelming flood of praise from real audience members, the film that topped the Korean film box office for two consecutive weeks and is on a long-running hit streak even in its third week of release, The Journey to Gyeongju, drew attention by releasing the 'Gyeongju family photo' set against Gyeongju.
The newly released still is an alibi commemorative photo left by the four mother-daughters who joined forces for revenge: 'Oksil' (Lee Jung-eun), 'Jangju' (Kong Hyojin), 'Yeongju' (Park So-dam) and 'Dongju' (Lee Yeon). The sight of them wearing matching group T-shirts with the word 'FAMILY' on their chests and bright blue raincoats while staring at the camera captures attention. Especially, the complete family photo that also includes Jangju's simple-hearted husband 'Seokman' (Kim Young-seong) and the adorable daughter 'Yoonji' (Kim Se-a) presents a peculiar irony as it depicts a family scene finally completed in the absence of the youngest, 'Gyeongju'.
Audience praise has continued for the actors' chemistry, like a real family, and their dense performances. Viewers who saw the film praised it: "The way the four mother-daughters behave together on their trip felt so realistic as a family that I empathized while watching!" (815s****), "It's fun! The daughters' chemistry and even the mom are reliable!" (배***), "The actors' performances are so good.. I felt like I became a member of that family and couldn't stop crying" (빛나는퓨리오***), "A performance spectacle by actors you can trust!" (환이아빠***), "A burning ember in the heart… the grief of parents who lost a child is heartrending.. great acting!" (행복바이러***) and others.
The Journey to Gyeongju, which offers a deep aftertaste with the 'Gyeongju family photo' shot against Gyeongju and stokes audiences' desire for multiple viewings, depicts a family revenge drama of four mother-daughters who, for the youngest daughter 'Gyeongju' who did not return from the school trip, embark on a 'killer' trip after eight years of waiting.
Lee Jung-eun and Kong Hyojin reunited for the first time in seven years since 'When the Camellia Blooms,' which approached a 30% viewership rating, and Lee Jung-eun and Park So-dam also reunited after director Bong Joon-ho's 'Parasite,' delighting audiences.<
