Netflix produces '84 Square Meter' starring Kang Ha-neul

Netflix confirmed the production of the movie '84 Square Meters' and announced that Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, and Seo Hyun-woo were cast.

Netflix is collaborating with director Kim Tae-joon, who debuted with the film 'I Just Dropped My Smartphone,' to produce the film '84 Square Meters.' '84 Square Meters' is an unpredictable thriller that follows Woo-seong (played by Kang Ha-neul), a young man who has succeeded in buying his own home in an 84-square meter apartment, but is plagued by unidentifiable noise between floors. 84 square meters, which stimulates curiosity with its unique title, refers to the area of an apartment equivalent to 32 pyeong, the most popular so-called national standard, and has a symbolic meaning that shows the reality of domestic real estate.

Woosung is played by actor Kang Ha-neul, who has portrayed different youth with a universal yet friendly charm in the movies 'Twenty', 'Dongju', 'Youth Police', '30 Days', and the dramas 'Misaeng' and 'When the Camellia Blooms'. do. Woo-seong, an office worker in his 30s, has succeeded in buying his own home, his lifelong dream, by pooling his savings, stocks, loans, and even his mother's garlic garden, but he is struggling in the reality where it is difficult to afford the high-interest loan interest. Expectations are high for highly immersive acting, from Kang Ha-neul's realistic life acting to extreme emotional changes due to stress, as he portrays a character who experiences sharp conflicts with his neighbors due to inter-floor noise that gets on his nerves every night.

Eunhwa, the resident representative who wants to protect the apartment, has shown irreplaceable acting as a strong character in works such as the Netflix series 'The Glory' and 'Mask Girl', the movie 'Citizen Deokhee', and the dramas 'Amazing Rumors' and 'When the Camellia Blooms'. Actress Yeom Hye-ran played the role. Jin-ho, the man who lives upstairs from Woosung, is an actor Seo Hyun-woo, who goes beyond genre settings and shows his own character variations in each work, including the movies 'Managers of Namsan', 'Decision to Break Up', 'Ghost', and the Netflix movie 'Ro Ki-wan'. is acting. Jin-ho is a character who searches for the source of noise between floors with Woo-sung, adding to the tension of the play. Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, and Seo Hyun-woo meet as characters who clash with each other while living together in an apartment, such as the Yeongkkeul clan, the resident representative, and the man next door. Their dense acting and powerful ensemble are another point to watch.

'84 Square Meters' is director Kim Tae-jun's next film, which captured realistic fears and thrills imaginable in everyday life through 'I Just Dropped My Smartphone.' I am looking forward to how the tension created by the realistic character of the Yeongkkeul family, the everyday space of an apartment, and the unpredictable situations that arise in the mystery of unidentifiable noise between floors will be transformed and create a sense of immersion.

'84 Square Meters' will be released on Netflix.
