Secret Love unveils provocative poster and release date

by javabeans

Yoo Ji-tae‘s new movie Secret Love (finally!) has a premiere date: It’ll hit movie theaters on March 25. The film has also released a rather eye-catching new poster featuring Yoo with his co-star, Yoon Jin-seo.

I think this round of promotional images captures the theme of “cruel and secret love” a lot more vividly than the previous round, where the couple was shown in a rather innocent light. (Another example: the initial wedding photos released last summer.) This dualism fits with the movie’s plot, which casts Yoo Ji-tae in two roles; he portrays brothers with vastly disparate personalities who fall for the same woman.

The promo copy reads, “The moment I thought I was at an end, he helped me breathe.” In somewhat contradicting copy underneath, there’s also the tagline that says, “A destructive love.”

The film had first been announced last year and was said to be looking at a release last fall, but since that obviously didn’t happen, the film must have hit delays. This is Yoo’s first time playing two roles in one project, but not his first time with actress Yoon; their first meeting was in Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy seven years ago. He follows Secret Love with a villainous turn in the thriller Late Night FM, in which he stars opposite Su Ae as a psycho killer.
