[theqoo] [EXCLUSIVE] THE ULTIMATE ROMCOM DUO… PARK BOYOUNG ♥ SON SUK KU, FIRST MEETING FOR MOVIE ‘WITH YOU’

Actors Park Bo-young and Son Suk-ku will star together in a romantic comedy.

On July 8, OSEN confirmed through its investigation that Park Bo-young and Son Suk-ku will appear in the film ‘With You’ (tentative title), the new project of director Kang Hyung-cheol.

‘With You’ is reported to be a fantasy romantic comedy featuring Korean and foreign actors in a story set on a cruise ship. As the latest work by director Kang Hyung-cheol, known for ‘Speed Scandal,’ ‘Sunny,’ ‘The Thieves: The Resurrection,’ ‘Swing Kids,’ and ‘High Five,’ the film is produced by Sidus and distributed by NEW.

Notably, this marks Park Bo-young’s reunion with director Kang Hyung-cheol after 18 years since the hit film ‘Speed Scandal’ (2008), which attracted 8.22 million viewers. At the time, ‘Speed Scandal’ was Kang’s feature film debut and Park’s first box office success, holding significant meaning for both. Park, who started as a child actor, instantly rose to stardom and has since established herself as a leading actress in her 30s.

The pairing of Park Bo-young and Son Suk-ku as the male and female leads in a fantasy romantic comedy is also drawing attention. This is the first time the two actors will collaborate, and their unexpected yet fresh combination is generating buzz.

Son Suk-ku has previously showcased his intense and masculine charm in films like the 10-million-viewer hit ‘The Roundup: No Way Out’ and ‘The Policeman’s Lineage,’ as well as series such as ‘D.P.,’ ‘Kashmir,’ and ‘My Liberation Notes.’ In this romantic comedy with Park Bo-young, dubbed the “queen of loveliness,” expectations are high for their chemistry and his new appeal.

Meanwhile, Park Bo-young recently starred in the Disney+ series ‘Gold Land,’ while Son Suk-ku is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix series ‘Road.’
