“Good Neighbour” is a project worth looking out for two big reasons. One: it is the return of actor Oh Dal-su. The once much-loved actor fell sharply from grace when his name came up in the early days of the #metoo movement in Korea. All projects featuring the actor had since been shelved or dropped, including this one. However, the court cleared him of all wrongdoings last year and fans have been looking forward to his comeback to the big screen. The second reason “Good Neighbour” should jump up everybody's anticipated films list is that it is also the return of director Lee Hwan-kyung, whose last film seven years ago was the smash-hit and still highly popular “Miracle in Cell No. 7”. Excited now? I bet you are!
Synopsis
Not a great deal is known about the 80s-set story just yet, except that “Good Neighbours” is a film that depicts the strife between NIS agents and detained politicians born of ambition and politics.
In addition to Oh Dal-su, who reteams with Lee Hwan-kyung after “Miracle in Cell No. 7”, it also stars Jung Woo (“New Trial”), Kim Hee-won (“The Man from Nowhere”), Kim Byung-chul (“1987: When the Day Comes”), Lee Yoo-bi (“The Royal Tailor”), Cho Hyun-chul (“MAL-MO-E: The Secret Mission”) and Yum He-ran (“Baseball Girl”).
A November, 2020 release is anticipated.
