At 11 am on the 5th at CGV I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, a production briefing session for the movie 'Family Glory: Returns' (directed by Jeong Tae-won and Jeong Yong-gi) was held, with directors Jeong Tae-won and Jeong Yong-gi, along with Yoon Hyun-min, Yura, Kim Soo-mi, Tak Jae-hoon, Jeong Jun-ha, Chu Seong-hoon and Ki Eun-se. The back was in place.
“I decided without even looking at the scenario,” said Yura, laughing, saying, “Family Glory is a very famous series, and I was so grateful that they invited me, so I said I would do it right away.” Yura Jang Jin-kyung, the youngest daughter of the Jang family, has a pure and bright charm. I took on the role.
Tak Jae-hoon, who also worked on the 'Family Glory' series, plays Jang Seok-jae, the dependable son of the Jang family, and goes out of his way to get Jin-kyung married in order to grant his mother Hong Deok-ja's wish. He said, “It’s a work that we’ve grown old with and have a lot of memories with.” He added, “I heard that this movie would come out, so I was waiting for it, but it wasn’t produced as time went by, so I gave up. When I actually got the call, I felt a bit of pressure, but I felt good about everyone coming together. “It was good,” he said.
Regarding the reason for his appearance, Jeong Jun-ha, who plays the role of Jong-myeon, the right-hand man of the Jang family, asked 'What do you do when you hang out?' As if he was considering leaving the program, he also drew attention by saying, "I had no work after leaving the program, so there was no reason not to accept the offer. I did the guarantee without even thinking about it. I had to work."
Ki Eun-se plays the role of Yu-jin, an influencer and Dae-seo's girlfriend. He said cheerfully, “I thought it would be a ‘family regret’ if I didn’t appear in ‘Family’s Glory,’ so I decided to do it.”
In particular, Tak Jae-hoon said about this movie, “Haven’t we been filming a series for a long time? “The laugh points of the past and the laugh points of these days are different,” he said. “Old comedies had a slow aesthetic, but these days, they seem to want comedies that are fast-moving. In that respect, I think the pace of this work has become faster," he said. Tak Jae-hoon said, "I hope people come to the theater for a while and have a comfortable time with this work." He added, "There are many people who have expectations of artistic quality, but I think it would be better if you don't have such expectations. . “I think it would be good to relieve stress and come comfortably,” he joked, making people laugh.
However, director Jeong Tae-won attracted attention by revealing that Yoon Hyun-min and Yura were not the first choice for casting. He honestly stated, "The two actors were not the first, and I circulated the book to many actors and received many rejections." Explaining the background to casting Yoon Hyun-min and Yura, he said, "I think the actors who declined will regret it. I will also invite those actors to the VIP screening."
Regarding this work, which began shooting on July 9th and ended after 28 episodes, director Jeong Tae-won said, "Please judge the quality of the work after watching the movie. You will laugh a lot. I can boldly guarantee you that you will laugh." He said. Director Jeong Yong-ki drew attention by expressing his confidence, saying, "Time did not matter at all. There was no delay in filming, and editing was done in between filming, so you don't have to worry about the short production period."
Meanwhile, 'Family Glory: Returns' is a comedy about the Jang family's life-or-death marriage strategy, as they devise all sorts of conspiracies to get the family's youngest daughter, Jin-kyung (Yoo-ra), to marry a popular star writer, Dae-seo (Yoon Hyun-min). The ‘Family Glory’ series returns after 11 years. It will be released on the 21st.
