Lee Byung-Hun·Park Seo-Jun·Park Bo-Young, everyone's face makes no sense

The movie 'Concrete Utopia' starring Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-joon, and Park Bo-young unveiled the survivor stills for the first time, raising expectations for a drama that begins after a disaster.

The stills released this time catch the eye with the impressive appearance of those who survived in their own way in the only Imperial Palace apartment in Seoul that did not collapse. The steel of 'Young Tak' (Lee Byung-hun), the new resident representative who does not mind taking any risks for the safety of the residents, reveals a presence that overwhelms the crowd with the addition of Lee Byung-hun's heavy charisma. Min-seong (Park Seo-joon)'s steel, whose only goal is to protect his family, makes us look forward to Park Seo-joon's new face, which portrays the character's inner side deeply. Here, the steel of Myeonghwa (Park Bo-young), who does not lose faith even in a disaster, draws attention with Park Bo-young's eyes perfectly permeated into a character with a firm will that does not shake.

The steel of Geum-ae (Kim Seon-young), the president of the women's association of the Imperial Palace Apartment, gives a glimpse of the behaviorist who adapts to change faster than anyone else with excellent situational judgment. On the other hand, the stills of Hye-won (Park Ji-hoo), who has returned from the outside, and Do-gyun (Kim Do-yoon), an uncooperative resident, create a precarious atmosphere and raise expectations for a disaster drama in which tension cannot be relaxed even for a moment.

In addition, the passionate acting of Kim Seon-young, Park Ji-hoo, and Kim Do-yoon, who breathed life into realistic characters who make different choices for survival, is expected to further enhance the audience's sense of immersion.

'Concrete Utopia' is a disaster drama depicting the story of survivors gathering in the only remaining imperial palace apartment in Seoul, which was devastated by a major earthquake.

It is a new adaptation based on the second part of 'Pleasant Neighbor' of the popular webtoon 'Pleasant Bullying' by author Kim Soong-nyung, who has been well received since its serialization in 2014.
