He's no James Bond, but
Runway Cop's detective Cha Cheol-soo (Kang Ji-hwan ♥) is ready for action when he goes undercover as...a runway model. Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, from the looks of the trailer, ridiculous is the name of the game, but in a very good way. It seems guaranteed to make me laugh, which is exactly what I'm looking for in this kind of movie.
Plus, Kang Ji-hwan has a gift for playing outrageous characters. Whether they're uptight or a little too lax, he's always entertaining, and it looks as though he's set to win me over once again. The movie also stars Sung Yu-ri, making this a Hong Gil-dong reunion (a.k.a. my dream come true).
Runway Cop is set to hit Korean theaters May 31, 2012, which means a home video release is at least a few months away. Distributor CJ Entertainment has been really good about quick turnarounds, though, so here's hoping we'll see an English-subbed DVD release soon!
Will any fellow Hong Gil-dong fans be checking this one out?
