Butler Yoo Yeon-seok vs gangster Kim Moo-yeol, a head-to-head match between two men

Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Moo-yeol are actors in their 40s. The two, along with Cha Tae-hyun, Cho Jin-woong, and Lee Sung-min, are expected to show off their south-nam chemistry. First, Yoo Yeon-seok's appearance in 'Dog Dog' features Min-su (played by Yoo Yeon-seok), who is on the verge of logging out early in his life as a dog owner, and Jin-gook (played by Cha Tae-hyun), whose life itself is in crisis. The two brothers begin interviews to find the perfect butler for their beloved dog Rooney. And this is a film that continues with unexpected and insightful encounters.

Yoo Yeon-seok reunites with Cha Tae-hyun 15 years after the drama 'General Hospital 2' through 'Puppy'. The decisive reason why director Kim Joo-hwan, who was in charge of directing the film, cast the two people was their real chemistry, making them seem like real relatives. The brotherly chemistry that Yoo Yeon-seok will show with Cha Tae-hyun is expected to remind us not only of simple laughter, but also of the true meaning of family, where even though they bicker on a regular basis, they are the first to be there for each other and cry and laugh together when things get difficult.
Kim Moo-yeol works with Cho Jin-woong and Lee Sung-min through 'Confidential'. 'Confidential' is set in Busan in 1992, and a fierce struggle between Hae-woong (played by Jin-woong Cho), a late-life National Assembly candidate, Sun-tae (played by Seong-min Lee), a hidden figure in politics, and Pil-do (played by Moo-yeol Kim), an activist gangster, to turn the tables by holding in their hands secret documents that will shake up the Republic of Korea. It is a crime drama that unfolds.

‘Puppy’ and ‘Confidential’ will be released on March 1. As a result, Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Moo-yeol faced off head-on in the theater. While 'The First Slam Dunk' is currently holding the top spot at the box office, the Marvel movie 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania' and Jin Seon-gyu's top movie 'Count' are scheduled to be released on February 15th. At a time when Korean movies are in a slump, attention is being paid to who will laugh in the head-to-head competition between Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Moo-yeol.
