Amid the spread of favorable reviews from real-time viewers since the release of the movie 'Land of Happiness', three interesting behind-the-scenes stories are drawing attention.
▶A bad relationship that started with Jeong In-hoo and Jeon Sang-du's first meeting
The bad relationship between Jeong In-hoo (Cho Jung-seok) and Jeon Sang-du (Yoo Jae-myung) was foreseen from the first meeting. Before the trial of the assassination of the president begins on October 26, the lawyers, including Jeong In-hoo, the chief of the Army Staff, Jeong Jin-hoo (Lee Won-jong), and Jeon Sang-du, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After the meeting in the banquet room of the Army headquarters, the two face each other again in the lobby, and Jeong In-hoo smiles self-deprecatingly at the sight of the soldier making an official statement to his superior. As a result, Jeon Sang-du reveals his hostile feelings toward Jeong In-hoo, and tensions are formed by implying that the trial will be absolutely unfavorable to the participants in the case. Even after that, the two continue to collide and conflict, which is not simply because Jeong In-hoo laughed at the official statement, but because they are different in their beliefs and values.

The conflict, which began with the meeting before the trial of the assassination of the president on October 26, peaks in the golf course scene in the second half of the play. In order to save Park Tae-joo (Lee Sun-kyun), Jeong In-hoo puts all his pride down and goes to his knees to visit Jeon Sang-du, who controls the trial at will. The place Jeong In-hoo visited was the golf course. Jeon Sang-du recites that "Iron No. 3 doesn't work well" when Jeong In-hoo appears while playing golf leisurely. This is a metaphorical line that Jeon Sang-du thinks of Jeong In-hoo as a golf ball and wants to send him far away, but it doesn't go as well as he wants. In addition, Jeon Sang-du's playing with a golf ball means that he plays with the world in his own hands, adding cinematic imagination to the fact that there are some people who are difficult to play with through Jeong In-hoo's appearance of not giving in to Jeon Sang-du.

As was foreseen from the beginning, the trial of the October 26 presidential assassination case flows into an unfavorable situation for the defendants and the lawyers. In addition, the lawyers are threatened and one or two are separated, leading to the worst. In this situation, the only way to save Park Tae-joo was to have Army Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-hoo, who moved in a vehicle immediately after the incident, as a witness to the presiding judge, but despite Jeong In-hoo's persistent persuasion, the chief of staff did not change his mind, making it frustrating. The person who appeared at this time is a boxing girl. In Jeong In-hoo's ear, boxing coach "Wake up!Awakens after hearing a shout of ", he starts to run with a boxing girl with strength, which can be interpreted as a scene containing Jeong In-hoo's will to overcome the unfairness of the times.
Meanwhile, 'Land of Happiness' is a film about Park Tae-joo, who was involved in the assassination of the president by orders of his superiors, and Jeong In-hoo, a lawyer who entered the worst political trial in Korea by defending him, and is playing in theaters nationwide.
