Lee Sun-kyun X Cho Jung-seok face-to-face with the defendant in the interview room..Tension is tight

Jul 17, 2024




The movie 'Land of Happiness' unveiled a face-to-face still that feels the tense tension between Cho Jung-seok and Lee Sun-kyun.

'Land of Happiness' is a film about a lawyer 'Park Tae-ju' who was involved in the assassination of the president by orders of his superiors on October 26, 1979 and who entered the worst political trial in Korea by defending him. The released still depicts 'Jeong In-hoo'(Cho Jung-seok) and 'Park Tae-ju(Lee Sun-kyun) facing each other in the defendant's interview room.

The first still is impressive in the appearance of a lawyer 'Jeong In-hoo' who seems to suggest something to him while looking at the case file to save 'Park Tae-joo'. 'Jeong In-hoo' is a 'legal dogfight number one' that believes that a trial does not distinguish between right and wrong, but only results in winning and losing. On the other hand, 'Park Tae-ju' is drawing attention as he stares at 'Jeong In-hoo' with a relatively calm expression. 'Park Tae-ju' is a secretary-general of the intelligence department who thinks that soldiers must obey orders and is in a situation where he is involved in the assassination of the president by the direction of his superiors and is on trial. It can be understood at once that he is a person who does not lose his rigidity until the end even when the judgment is confirmed by a single decision because he is a soldier.



In the subsequent still, both of them can see their distinctly different attitudes and expressions. Looking at the appearance of 'Park Tae-ju' that is closer to 'Jeong In-hoo' and such a 'Park Tae-ju' with an expression of mixed emotions. While raising questions about what changes have occurred in the positions and thoughts of the two as the trial progresses, attention is being paid to how the trial passing through 10.26 and 12.12 will flow.
