Yoo Seung-ho swindles his way through caper film Kim Seon-dal

The new Joseon-era caper comedy starring Yoo Seung-ho (Remember—Son’s War), Kim Seon-dal, is coming out this July. The teaser has just been released, and it’s hilarious.

First, we’re introduced to the titular hero who is bold, brash, and daring with a healthy dose of remarkable charm. Then we have Bo-won, played by Go Chang-seok (Kill Me, Heal Me), Kim Seon-dal’s partner whose quick judgment calls and masterful disguises have allowed him to escape certain death twelve times. And Ra Mi-ran (Come Back, Ajusshi) makes for the perfect swindler-shaman who uses her perceptive abilities to make her clients pay her a fortune for her “supernatural” talents. Finally we see the adoring fan/sidekick played by EXO’s Xiumin who idolizes (haha see the pun?) his savior hyung, Seon-dal.

In the trailer, we see Yoo fleeing the scene in all different types of getups, from the kingly ceremonial robes to a maiden’s hanbok. (Sad reality: Yoo Seung-ho in drag is more attractive than 90% of the female population. For a second there, I didn’t recognize him.) In the movie, Kim Seon-dal’s merry team of bandits join together to pull off the con of a lifetime: They’re going to sell the Daedong River.

In a feudal time period where property rights and water conservation are unheard of, Kim Seon-dal is going to get rich quick by selling the ownerless communal river. Well, he’s already fooled people into paying an exorbitant amount for a chicken by telling them that it was a mythical phoenix, so perhaps selling a river isn’t that much of a stretch.

All in all, it looks like we have a lighthearted fun movie to anticipate this summer. Sort of like Ocean’s Eleven meets Hong Gil-dong, Kim Seon-dal seems to be a refreshing comedy perfect for enjoying with friends on a sunny day.

Everybody who's anybody is donning the Hanbok now,huh?! Yoo Seung Ho, Yoon Si Yoon, Go Soo, and probably Park Seo Joon.
Lee Jun Ki will be back with another Sageuk drama this year, so we're used to that and Yoo Jin Goo had a mini sageuk episode in Orange Marmalade. And it's been years since Hong Gil Dong for Jang Geun Suk.
So who looks best in Hanbok for these guys?

Looks cheesy but in a fun way. Kind of reminds me of the Detective Kim movie series (with Kim Myung-Min).

I love how every picture above has an actor/actress squinting innovatively, cheesily. And having watched a little Kim Myung-Min in Six Flying Dragons, I'm now kinda thinking of checking Detective Kim out.

The Detective Kim movies are both goofy and have a bit of smart to them. I enjoyed them.

YSH. still the best in Remember war of the son>
but it good that he tried diff genre role, to challenge himself. and show the world how good an actor he is. will never forget how he made me cried river at Remember ep20, i watched that almost more than 13 times, that ep, and cried about 13 times. and i watched whole drama a second time. cannot say i will do that for another drama ... oh, Healer, yes, Healer was the first one i watch second time... then there was Hello Monster i watched second time also.
But, Remember transcend me.

I thought I'd watch him in anything but after "The Magician" I think he has a very very long way to go if he is going for a movie career. He is charming as heck but he needs more for Chungmuro.

the feeling when I realize that kim Min Seok/Xiumin the other young boy in the poster is 26 and older than Yoo Seung Hoo . . . .

*go to check the poster again
*he still look at least the same age with him

I consider Yoo seung hoo young looking and he even more younger looking . . .

Same here. At first, I thought well, that gonna be cute seeing Xiumin's character all doey eyes to someone he looked up then suddenly I remembered Yoo Seung-ho's a 93-er. Though either both boys doesn't looks like their own actual ages.

very few people manage to really be convincing as a swashbuckling swindler & eccentric character. They usually don´t feel natural, it demands a believable character. But it seems to work for him. as you know, I have a weakness for goffy type of characters. But I have too little time for anything!!!

So the trailer has over 2 million views now, and half of it I believed is from me (JK!) but who can resist this man, honestly? Okay, I'm gonna go away and watch this trailer again until the movie comes out.
