Uhm Jung-hwa is setting her sights on the summer box office, teasing a bigger-scale adventure set aboard a breezy ocean cruise.
On the 6th, the team behind Okay! Madam 2 unveiled new stills spotlighting its colorful ensemble ahead of its August release.
The stills capture everything from the peaceful everyday life of former agent Mi-young (Uhm Jung-hwa), now running a beloved twisted-doughnut shop, and her husband Seok-hwan (Park Sung-woong), to the sudden chaos sparked by a cruise-ship hijacking. One hilarious moment shows the couple, who boarded a lavish cruise to attend colleague Hyun-min’s (Bae Jung-nam) wedding, getting swept up in an unexpected magic show.
But the sweet getaway is shattered when An-ya (Choi Soo-young), the ruthless leader of a crime syndicate, makes a shocking entrance, plunging everything into turmoil. With the couple in a life-or-death pinch, Mi-young reignites the fire of the elite operative she used to be, raising expectations for a fierce comeback.
Seok-hwan, once a National Intelligence Service ace, looks set to step up as well, while Seon-a (Park Jin-joo) fights tooth and nail to protect the cruise. Adding to the buzz, Cheol-seung (Lee Sang-yoon), Mi-young’s former colleague, returns to power up the plot, promising a wildly entertaining, one-of-a-kind comic team play.
Meanwhile, the slapstick action-comedy Okay! Madam 2, about an ordinary family whose luxury cruise trip spirals into an unexpected hijacking, sails into theaters nationwide on August 12.
