Director Kim said, `I personally wanted to try various genres of movies when directing my work. If 'Devils' was a gorey thriller, 'Chase of Pilsa' wanted to make it a light and cheerful comic action. Afterwards, the next film was filmed in a different genre of film,' he said, expressing his intention to direct.

Then "I have a previous film, but I think 'The Pursuit of Pilsa' is the first commercial film." It's a genre that many people of all ages can enjoy, so I hope you enjoy it. I'm also rooting for the comedy genre and Korean movies that will be released," he added.

In particular, actors will also show new faces that have never been shown before. Park Sung-woong plays the role of Kim In-gee, the greatest con artist and disguise genius in Korea. He "To be honest, I participated from the planning stage four to five years ago. It's a lot different from the draft I saw at the time. I think the movie that solved the Jeju Island problem a little more lightly became the current 'Chase of Pilsa'."

He challenged himself to play seven roles per person, saying, "It was the hardest to dress up. In particular, it took 5 hours to dress up as a grandfather, but the actual filming time was less than an hour. When I dressed up as a haenyeo, I wore women's underwear for the first time in my life and filmed it, and it was frustrating. I had a hard time getting dressed up with a beard"But it was good that each character was different and not confused." expressed satisfaction.

Kwak Si-yang, who played Cho Soo-kwang, a passionate detective who boasts a 100% criminal arrest rate, said "When I work all the time, I feel a lot of regret. It can be damaged more properly, but I'm sorry that I can see a different appearance from myself then, and I filmed while enjoying it without fear of being damaged while filming. However, I was so angry that I was worried that I was always screaming. "

Yoon Kyung-ho played as a mafia boss, Jurinfang, who has no blood or tears. He had the expectation given by the title 「"The Pursuit of Pilsa" about how he participated in the work. I also wanted to participate after hearing that Park Sung-woong would appear. I did many works with my senior, but I was very excited to be able to do it again. And since my role is the mafia boss, I thought it would be a new challenge for me because I had to speak Cantonese", he explained.

He also pointed out that he tried to create a high-quality character. "From hair styles to smoky makeup to various accessories and clothes, I even got tattoos. At first, I tried to act like a complete Taiwanese, but many people already know me as a Korean, so I thought there would be a sense of alienation, so I was born as a new person after consulting with the director. As the concepts taken from the meeting were mounted one by one, I found faith while looking in the mirror. "Thanks to this, I was able to concentrate on Jurin Fang and shoot it."

In recent summer theaters, comedy films 'Handsome Guys' and 'pilot' have broken even, continuing a hot box office craze. In response, Park Sung-woong "Why don't we have any expectations?" I don't think our work came out, and I think the audience will be able to get rid of the heat because there's a cool and refreshing part," he said. Kwak Si-yang said, `It's been a long time since I've released a movie, so I'm looking forward to it. I think it's better because the other comedy films released earlier are doing well. I hope we can do well thanks to your support," he said. Yoon Kyung-ho said, `I agree with the saying that it's a strong comedy movie, but I didn't think it was a comedy genre when I filmed it. Unlike other actors, I thought it was a serious noir genre, but it is nice to see the opening of a venue where audiences can come to the theater. If possible, I hope many people come to the theater and 'Chase of Pilsa' will be able to produce good results" revealed the wind.
