Ryu Seung Ryong And Ha Ji Won’s Lives Take A Drastic Turn After The Arrival Of His Daughter In “Portrait Of A Family”

The upcoming film “Portrait of a Family” has unveiled new character posters!

“Portrait of a Family” is a family chronicle that follows top star couple Jung Gu (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Nam Mi (Ha Ji Won). After their marriage falls apart due to the sudden appearance of Jung Gu’s daughter Dong Ju (Kim Si Ah), the film picks up eight years later, depicting the couple’s desperate pursuit of the truth to save Dong Ju after she becomes embroiled in a shocking incident.

The newly released character posters feature characters who each carry their own wounds and stories. Jung Gu, once a successful baseball player whose relationship with Nam Mi fell apart following Dong Ju’s arrival, stares into the distance on a rain-soaked alley. The caption, “No matter what happens, I’ll protect you,” paired with his determined expression, raises curiosity about what choices he will make for Dong Ju.

Nam Mi, who once enjoyed a glamorous life as a top star, has undergone a complete transformation following the collapse of her marriage. With her disheveled hair and vacant gaze, she gives off a fragile and troubled air. The caption, “It hurts because when I look at you, I see myself,” hints at the deep wounds Nam Mi carries after falling from the top and the complicated emotions she harbors toward Dong Ju.

Surrounded by her classmates, Dong Ju pleads her innocence, saying, “No, it wasn’t me. It really wasn’t.” Her desperate appearance raises further questions about what truly happened in the incident that unfolds eight years later.

Jung Gu’s family members also step up to support him in their own ways. His mother Gi Sik (Kim Hae Sook) expresses her deep love for her family, saying, “That’s the thing about family—they make you willing to risk everything.”

His older sister Ji Sook (Kim Sun Young) comforts Jung Gu with, “Don’t let this break you. That’s what family is there for,” while his brother-in-law Sung Myung (Kim Young Min) reassures him, “Don’t worry. We’ll find [it/them], no matter what,” becoming a steadfast ally to Jung Gu and Dong Ju.

“Portrait of a Family” is set to hit theaters on September 2. Stay tuned!

Ryu Seung Ryong Is A Former Baseball Star Who Will Risk Everything For His Daughter In “Portrait Of A Family”

The upcoming film “Portrait of a Family” has unveiled new stills of Ryu Seung Ryong!

Ryu Seung Ryong stars as Jung Gu, a former baseball player who will stop at nothing to protect his daughter. Once a celebrated athlete, Jung Gu’s life falls apart after Dong Ju unexpectedly enters his life. Though rough around the edges, he reveals a much softer side whenever he’s with his daughter.

Through Jung Gu, who struggles to express his love but cares for his daughter more deeply than anyone else, Ryu Seung Ryong is set to portray a new kind of paternal devotion.

To bring the character to life, Ryu Seung Ryong carefully managed his weight and diet to portray Jung Gu from his 20s through his early-to-mid 40s. He also underwent pitching and batting training to convincingly play a former baseball player, while even sporting extensive tattoo makeup to complete the transformation.

The newly released stills highlight Jung Gu’s contrasting past and present. In one, he is in a baseball uniform at the plate, his intense gaze hinting at his days as one of the sport’s top players.

Another still captures Jung Gu frozen in shock after seemingly witnessing a devastating incident. The fear and desperation in his eyes vividly convey the lengths he’ll go to in order to protect his daughter.

Director Lee Ji Won praised the actor, saying, “Ryu Seung Ryong has the fierce eyes and energy of a wild beast, but when he’s with someone he loves, he reveals a surprisingly vulnerable side. He was the actor who could portray Jung Gu most convincingly.”

“Portrait of a Family” is set to hit theaters on September 2. Stay tuned!

Kong Hyo Jin Is A Devoted Eldest Daughter Caught Between Family And Revenge In “The Journey To Gyeongju”

“The Journey to Gyeongju” has unveiled new stills of Kong Hyo Jin!

“The Journey to Gyeongju” is a family revenge film about a mother and three daughters who embark on a “killer” journey after waiting eight years, all for their youngest daughter Gyeong Ju who never returned from a school field trip.

Kong Hyo Jin stars as Jang Ju, the devoted eldest daughter who carries both a deep sense of responsibility toward her family and her own inner anxieties. Jang Ju is the dependable eldest daughter who has helped her mother Ok Sil (Lee Jung Eun) run the family alteration shop “Ok Fashion” since childhood while looking after her younger sisters. Even after getting married, she continues to put her family first, joining the journey to avenge her youngest sister. At the same time, she worries about what will happen to her own family if their revenge plan goes awry.

Kong Hyo Jin delicately portrays Jang Ju’s complex emotions as she looks after her mother while trying to hold the family together amid her sisters’ constant conflicts. She also reportedly contributed ideas for details such as Jang Ju’s chalky sunscreen and eyebrow tattoos, adding to the character’s realism.

Although she initially hesitated to accept the role due to scheduling conflicts, Kong Hyo Jin was ultimately won over by the screenplay’s lasting emotional impact. She shared, “The script was so powerful that it left a lingering emotional impression on me for days after I finished reading it. I knew I wanted to help bring this story to life.”

Director Kim Mi Jo also expressed her excitement about working with Kong Hyo Jin, revealing that she has long been a fan of the actress. “Jang Ju appears mature and independent, but she’s actually the most dependent and the one who wavers the most,” the director said. “Kong Hyo Jin brought this complex ‘K-eldest daughter’ to life with her signature ability to make every character feel convincing.”

The film also reunites Kong Hyo Jin and Lee Jung Eun as mother and daughter for the first time in six years since “When the Camellia Blooms.” Kong Hyo Jin commented, “I really wanted the chance to work with ‘Mom’ Jung Eun again. Any actor who read this script would want to play Ok Sil, but knowing Lee Jung Eun was cast made me want to stand by her side and support her as Jang Ju.”

Lee Jung Eun Lives Only For Revenge After Losing Her Daughter In “The Journey To Gyeongju”

“The Journey to Gyeongju” has unveiled new stills of Lee Jung Eun!

Lee Jung Eun stars as Ok Sil, a mother living with the grief of losing her youngest daughter. Ok Sil once led an ordinary life running the neighborhood alteration shop “Ok Fashion,” but after losing her youngest daughter, she spends the next eight years consumed by guilt and grief, living only for revenge. As the driving force behind the four women’s quest for vengeance, Lee Jung Eun is expected to anchor the film with a layered portrayal of maternal love, rage, unwavering determination, and deeply human inner conflict.

The film also marks Lee Jung Eun’s reunion with director Kim Mi Jo, whom she previously worked with on “Hommage.” Director Kim Mi Jo revealed that she had envisioned Lee Jung Eun as Ok Sil from the project’s earliest stages, saying, “Ok Sil is a complex character who charges forward to extinguish the fire burning inside her heart, but because she is human, she is constantly shaken by doubt and inner conflict. Lee Jung Eun brought her to life with an irreplaceable performance that captures even the deepest parts of her inner world.”

Lee Jung Eun also shared that she decided to join the project based on her trust in the director. She explained, “Although the mother and daughters share the same goal of revenge, each of them has a different perspective. I focused most on portraying Ok Sil’s choices in a way that would allow the audience to fully empathize with and understand them.”

Ha Ji Won’s Life Takes A Drastic Turn With The Appearance Of Her Husband’s Daughter In “Portrait Of A Family”

SBS’s upcoming drama “Agent Kim Reactivated” has shared a sneak peek of its first episode!

Based on a popular webtoon, “Agent Kim Reactivated” is an action revenge drama that tells the story of Manager Kim (So Ji Sub), a seemingly ordinary dad with a secret past who puts everything on the line to save his beloved daughter.

The newly released preview from the drama’s upcoming premiere offers a glimpse of Manager Kim’s everyday life with his daughter Min Ji (Seo Su Min). In contrast to his hidden past as a dangerous secret agent, Manager Kim is now living a completely ordinary life as the manager at a small bank.

In the new preview, Min Ji steps out of her bedroom at night to find her father asleep on the sofa, where he has dozed off with the TV still on. Waking him up, Min Ji repeatedly tells her father to go sleep in his room.

As the groggy Manager Kim gets up from the sofa, Min Ji starts to say, “Dad, earlier, I…” but she is cut off by him saying, “Oh, I didn’t do the dishes.” Annoyed, Min Ji exclaims, “You can do them tomorrow morning. Hurry up and go sleep in your room!” He then heads to his room, agreeing, “Let’s do that. Go to sleep.”

When Manager Kim wakes up to his alarm in the morning, he is surprised to find that Min Ji has already done all the dishes. With an impressed smile that suggests this is out of the ordinary, he asks, “What’s the deal?”

The newly released teaser begins with Manager Kim heading home from work as usual and enjoying a night out together with his friends Sung Han Soo (Choi Dae Hoon) and Park Jin Chul (Yoon Kyung Ho).

However, the mood quickly shifts. As Sung Han Soo asks, “How long are you going to live with your daughter as your whole world?” the teaser cuts to Manager Kim’s daughter Min Ji (Seo Su Min) being bullied by her classmates. Rushing to her school, Manager Kim kneels before the adults involved and says, “I know I have shortcomings as a single parent. Please forgive her.”

But tragedy follows when Min Ji tearfully asks, “Why won’t you believe me, Dad?” before suddenly disappearing. Determined to find her, Manager Kim begins searching with the help of his friends. The teaser then launches into a series of intense action scenes as he takes down enemies with his fists and even an axe. He warns them, “I’m only letting you live because I believe my daughter is still alive. Otherwise, you’d all be dead.”

Joo Kang Chan (Joo Sang Wook), a powerful figure in the underworld, becomes intrigued after hearing, “A girl named Min Ji has disappeared, and her father is searching for her.” Meanwhile, Park Kang Sung (Kim Sung Kyu) appears in a diving suit, and Sang Ah (Son Naeun), previously known as Manager Kim’s co-worker, is seen engaged in a fierce knife fight with Park Kang Sung.

The teaser concludes with Manager Kim descending a staircase with a cold expression as he asks, “Has anyone seen a second-year, Class 7 student at Songin High wearing a brown blazer and yellow hoodie?” He then adds, “If not, don’t stand in my way,” hinting at the relentless pursuit that lies ahead.
