Netflix announced in its worldwide “Tudum” event last year that they were going in hard on their investment in Korean content and while they had been producing tv dramas more often, they confirmed their resolution of doubling down on film productions. One of the most exciting titles they announced at the event was “Seoul Vibe” by “As One” director Moon Hyun-sung, which is finally gearing up for a release.
Synopsis
Worldwide excitement is escalating in Seoul in the days leading up to the opening of the 1988 Summer Olympics. The fashion is old school, the music is sentimental and the racing is the best in the world. The drivers of the Sanggye-dong Supreme Team receive an offer they can't refuse and become mired in a VIP slush fund investigation.
– Top drifter, Dong-wook
– S.P.Y DJ, John
– Human navigation system, Bok-nam
– Master of disguise on a motorcycle, Yoon-hee
– MacGyver of Sanggye-dong, Joon-gi (Ong Seong-wu)
“Take a good look. This is how you really vibe.”
The Sanggye-dong Supreme Team dreaming the American Dream races through Seoul in cars loaded with slush fund money.
Yoo Ah-in has become something of go-to guy for Netflix when it comes to Korean productions and he leads the star-cast here as Dong-wook. Ko Kyung-pyo (“Decision to Leave”) plays John, Lee Kyu-hyung (“Innocent Witness”) is Bok-nam, Park Ju-hyun (“Silence”) is Yoon-hee and Ong Seung-woo (“Life is Beautiful) plays Joon-gi, whereas Moon so-ri plays Chairman Kang, who sets the whole operation in motion.
