Gong Hyo-jin and Park Hae-il in Aging Family
by girlfriday
Teehee, this movie looks like a riot. I was already interested in Aging Family when they cast it chock full of actors I like, but the teaser is even funnier than expected. The new family comedy from director Song Hae-sung (A Better Tomorrow, Maundy Thursday) is about three grown-up kids who are each a wreck in some way, suddenly having to move back in with Mom all at the same time. The result is in the teaser: a parade of insults and swears, a whole lot of kicking, yanking of hair, and general fisticuffs. Oh, right, and some bath-time nudity just for kicks.
Gong Hyo-jin (Love Fiction) is the maknae, a 35-year old “Expert in Marriage Transfers.” At one point in the teaser she screams, “Is there a rule that a married woman can’t fall in love?!” Park Hae-il (Eungyo, Bow the Ultimate Weapon) is second oppa, a 40-year old failed movie producer. His character description is just “Gave Up on Life.” Yoon Je-moon (The End of the World, The King 2 Hearts) is the first oppa, 44-year old “General Crisis.” There’s also 69-year old Mom (Yoon Yeo-jung) and a 15-year old niece (Jin Ji-hee). The movie’s tagline is: “A family whose average age is 47, that can’t act its age.”
I love that the character posters are pieces to the larger one with the three-way fight. They’re not messing around in the teaser either — all three kids talk like motor-mouthed gangsters, and you think they’re all mortal enemies or something… until Mom calls them all to the dinner table and they comply like good children. Ha. In the closing bit, Gong Hyo-jin drops a piece of food on her brother’s lap. Park Hae-il: “Fuck.” Gong Hyo-jin: “You could just clean it off. Why’s it something to say ‘Fuck’ about?” LOL. I think I’m gonna like this family.
Aging Family hits theaters in May.

I watched this trailer, and out of curiosity, clicked through to the "Honest Trailer" review of Les Miserables . . .
'Aging Family' looks a lot funnier, everyone has better skin, and no one is pulling anyone's teeth out with a pair of pliers. I hope.

I'm trying to figure out if GHJ is bringing into fashion the mini-bathrobe-jumper look. I think I want one for myself but with short-sleeves....or I just want everything GHJ wears.

Movies take a long time to sub, but I'm definitely considering watching this one when it finally releases with eng subs.

Same here. I just hope I don't forget about this by the time it gets subbed like how I did with Werewolf Boy (only reason I "remembered" was because it was mentioned often in Open Thread, ha.)

Ok so this is not really related...well, it's about movies! Does anyone know where I can find Cha Tae Hyun's movie "The Grand Heist" or 'Gone with the Wind' as some call it? With english subs?
Would be much appreciated!

Song Haeseong is directing a comedy? Is it going to turn into a melodrama in the final act? I'm hoping he's able to pull this off.

I still love the fact that it's about family comedy, not romance. :p This is going to be insanely amazing. I can sense it.
Wooo it's Park Hae-seong whose works are my favourites (Failan and Maundy Thursday). He's directing a comedy now, which is different from his usual works. Cool, really looking forward to watching this!

Cha Seung Won in "High Heels", Yoon Kye Sang in "Rock, Paper, Scissors of Love" and now Gong Hyo Jin in "Aging Family".
How I missed my Greatest Love leads... :D
Feels great to see them this year.
Thank you. :)
