Ahn Bo-hyun Returns to the Big Screen with 'Pretty Crazy'

Ahn Bo-hyun is set to make a comeback to the summer box office with a new character in 'Pretty Crazy'. Known for his charismatic roles in dramas like 'Military Prosecutor Doberman' and 'Reborn Rich Detective', as well as his versatile presence in the variety show 'Backpacker', Ahn is ready to showcase another facet of his talent.

'Pretty Crazy' is a devil-possessed comedy that follows the struggles of Gil-gu, an unemployed young man played by Ahn Bo-hyun, who gets entangled in a bizarre part-time job of watching over Seon-ji (played by Im Yoon-ah), who turns into a devil every dawn.

Ahn Bo-hyun has grown into a likable actor, displaying a range of performances from intense charisma to a quiet, all-around character in shows like 'Military Prosecutor Doberman', 'Reborn Rich Detective', and 'Backpacker'. With 'Pretty Crazy', Ahn takes on the challenge of the summer box office, collaborating with director Lee Sang-geun to bring the dependable yet timid character of Gil-gu to life. Despite his tall stature and sturdy build, Gil-gu is a shy and gentle character, showcasing Ahn's unexpected charm.

Ahn expressed his deep affection for the character, saying, "Gil-gu is a friend who doesn't quite know what his dream is but is trying to find out. I really liked that pure and clean aspect of him." To immerse himself in the character, which is a departure from his usual charismatic image, Ahn shared, "I had to let go of my shyness and embarrassment, and everything inside me," revealing that 'Pretty Crazy' was an opportunity for personal growth. Ahn's neighborly, sincere gaze and quirky yet kind demeanor make Gil-gu an even more appealing character.

Ahn Bo-hyun's new face, capturing the audience's hearts with his pure and harmless charm, can be seen in 'Pretty Crazy'. This film is expected to be more than just an image transformation for him; it marks a new turning point in his acting career.

'Pretty Crazy' is set to hit theaters on August 13.
