'Puppy' reunites 15 years after its release, Yoo Yeon-seok and Cha Tae-hyun's chemistry

The movie ‘Puppy’ (director Kim Joo-hwan) has confirmed its release on March 1.

According to distributor Kidari Studio Co., Ltd., 'Puppy' has confirmed its release on March 1. 'Dog Dog' is about two brothers, 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-guk (played by Cha Tae-hyun), whose life itself is in crisis. They begin interviews to find the perfect owner for their beloved dog Rooney, and end up with an unexpected insight. A movie that continues our encounters.

In addition, two types of first posters and trailers were released. The first two types of posters that were released first show off the cheerful appearance of the two iconic Puppy actors, as if they are already announcing the beginning of spring. The first poster shows Minsu, Jin-guk, and the national brother, who boast a sweet chemistry that is different from other dogs that exceed the cuteness limit, taking a family photo with bright smiles, making even the viewer warm.

Here, the copy, “I’d like to have a butler interview” announces the start of the most enjoyable journey in 2023. Another poster stimulates curiosity with the 180-degree different mood between Minsu, who looks tearful, with the happy smile shown in the previous image disappearing, and Jin-gook, who seems to be resolute.

The trailer stimulates curiosity about how diverse the two golden young men's search for the perfect dog owner will be portrayed. The special story of one to eight innocent and unique dogs adds to the fun as Minsu and Jin-gook travel through the biggest crisis of their dog owners' lives.

Yoo Yeon-seok plays the role of Min-su, who dreams of completing a family with his loved ones. Yoo Yeon-seok is expected to show off the charm of a lover who will do anything for Rooney and his girlfriend with his unique warm atmosphere and innocence, as well as his pitiful appearance in the face of a sudden crisis that makes viewers want to embrace him.

Cha Tae-hyun plays Jin-gook, who is poor for money after ruining the cafe he ambitiously opened, but has the best loyalty. He is attracting attention by returning to the screen after a long time since the movie 'Along with the Gods' series.

Cha Tae-hyeon, with his personality befitting the name Jin-guk, becomes Min-su's cousin, but is as good as his own brother, and at the end of their journey together, he begins an unplanned life as a butler. Even though he looks immature on the outside, he is expected to deliver a solid performance as a character who is more affectionate and dependable than anyone else.

In particular, Yoo Yeon-seok and Cha Tae-hyun reunite for the first time in 15 years through 'Puppy' since the 2008 drama 'General Hospital 2'. It is said that the two people have developed a fantastic chemistry that has been further upgraded based on their relationship.

Director Kim Joo-hwan tells a more relatable family story by developing it from the story of two men shown in 'Youth Police' to the story of two brothers. In addition, the two actors' perfect tiki-taka, the cuteness of the dogs that are soothing to the eyes and heart, and the warm message are added to make audiences of all generations fall in love with its irresistible charm.
