Built around the hilarious premise of an ex-husband and current husband forced to team up.
On Friday (May 22), the teaser trailer and poster for the upcoming Korean action-comedy film Husbands in Action was released by streaming giant Netflix.
The teaser trailer introduces Choong-sik (Jin Sun-kyu), Min-seok (Gong Myoung), Si-nae (Kang Hanna), and their child.
Choong-sik is Si-nae’s ex-husband and narcotics detective whose job has already complicated his personal life.
Meanwhile, Min-seok is described as a “young, handsome current husban and veterinarian,” whose easy charm contrasts with Choong-sik’s more rough‑edged attitude.
An ego battle kicks off between two men when their paths meet at their daughter’s school event.
However, it would be set aside when the they learn that Si-nae and their daughter have been abducted — forcing them into an unlikely partnership to save the people they both love most.
As the teaser cuts through the high-stakes rescue mission, viewers see the ex-husband and current husband bickering, stumbling and fighting their way through danger.
“Their mismatched energy drives the humor: one a seasoned, no-nonsense detective, the other younger and equally determined to save the day,” noted the platform.
Also part of the cast are Kim Ji-suk, Yoon Kyung-ho, Kang Hanna, Lee Da-hee, and Jeon So-min.
Directed by Park Gyu-tae,who most recently directed the hit film 6/45, Husbands In Action aims to blends intriguing character comedy with energetic set pieces, all anchored by the chemistry of its cast.
Husbands In Action will premiere on June 19 on Netflix.
