Park Seong-woong and Kwak Si-yang's 'Desperate Chase' filming ends

The movie 'Desperate Pursuit (working title, director Kim Jae-hoon) has cranked up.

According to distributor TCO The Contents On on the 16th, 'Desperate Chase' cranked up on the 8th. 'Desperate Pursuit' is a comical chase action drama about the Gold Medi Valley project, a medical complex to be built on Jeju Island, an island loved by Koreans and a natural environment blessed with natural beauty.

'Desperate Pursuit' is a comical chase action film set in Jeju Island between Soo-gwang Jo (played by Kwak Si-yang), a badass detective with anger management disorder who speaks with his fists before his words, and In-hae Kim ( played by Park Seong-woong), acknowledged to be Korea's greatest conman and transformation genius. All filming was completed on March 8th.

'Desperate Pursuit' began its first filming on December 19, 2022, and completed a journey of about 3 months, traveling to and from Jeju Island, the main setting of the film. In the still released along with the Crank Up news, Kwak Si-yang (played by Jo Soo-gwang) is seen with a T-shirt over his head and an angry expression on his face. The excited expression on his face and the t-shirt draped over his head without taking it off give us an idea of the situation of the nerdy detective Jo Soo-gwang.

In another still, Park Seong-woong (played by Kim In-hae), dressed as an old man with white hair, a white beard, and a stylish fedora, is holding a middle-aged woman in a classy atmosphere and giving a thumbs up, stimulating curiosity. In the play, Kim In-hae, a self-proclaimed greatest conman and transformation genius, shows off his amazing disguise skills.

Director Kim Jae-hoon, who was in charge of directing, is a newcomer to Chungmuro, having worked as an assistant director on films such as 'Emergency Declaration' and 'Pirates: Bandits Who Went to the Sea'. He has completed filming his feature-length commercial film debut with the thriller 'Devils' (working title) starring Jang Dong-yoon and Oh Dae-hwan, and is scheduled for release in the first half of this year. Expectations are high to see how director Kim Jae-hoon's witty abilities will unfold in 'Desperate Pursuit'.

Meanwhile, 'Desperate Pursuit' is scheduled to go through post-production and visit audiences armed with powerful laughter in the second half of 2023.
