The last time Lee Byeong-heon made a film, he subverted all expectations with “Extreme Job”, a release that juggernauted its way to box office success, becoming the second most successful Korean film of all time at the box office. As a result, his followup to the police action/comedy feature has been anticipated by audiences for a while. That followup is “Dream” a production that saw delays due to the pandemic both in its production and release but is finally gearing up to come to theatres.
Synopsis
You are hopeless, helpless and homeless? No, you are NOT!
A top football player Hong-dae gets involved in an assault case and winds up being appointed as the coach for the national football team. This team will compete in the ‘Homeless World Cup’. A documentary producer So-min films their story while Hong-dae struggles to coach the homeless because of his misconceptions about them. He treats them like a buncn of ragtags. Despite his reservations, the team puts their best foot forward and he has a change of heart about them. Now they’re more than ready for the big event, but things get out of control when they actually start playing.
Headlining the cast this time are Park Seo-joon and Lee Ji-eun (aka IU), who are joined by an excellent supporting cast that includes Kim Jong-soo, Ko Chang-seok, Jung Seung-gil, Lee Hyun-woo, Yang Hyun-min and more. The film is scheduled for a release in Korea on April 26th, 2023, with a wider international release expected to follow.
