Kim Woo-bin and Lee Hyun-woo become professional Con Artists
by girlfriday
Is it just me or did this movie happen very quickly? Obviously I’m not going to complain when it means we get more Kim Woo-bin (Heirs) — maybe it’s just because he’s in so many projects lately that they’re all starting to blur together. Here’s a peek at the posters and stills for his new caper flick Con Artists (which is supposedly the international title they’re going with — we’ve called it Professionals in previous posts), costarring the adorable Lee Hyun-woo (To the Beautiful You) and the always funny Go Chang-seok (Records of a Night Watchman).
The ensemble heist movie comes from director Kim Hong-sun of the hit thriller Traffickers, and includes cast members Kim Young-chul (IRIS 2), Jo Yoon-hee (Nine), Im Joo-hwan (Watch Out for Fools), and Shin Gu (God’s Gift–14 Days). They make up a group of highly skilled professionals who are recruited for one big score.
The story takes place at the Port of Incheon, where the security at customs is boasted about as being the best of the best. Kim Young-chul plays a gang boss who hires the crew to steal a 150-billion-won take in under 40 minutes, and the team plans a dangerous heist that turns the organized crime world upside-down.
Kim Woo-bin stars as the master safecracker who learned everything he knows from veteran Shin Gu. Lee Hyun-woo is the genius hacker who can break into any server, and Go Chang-seok is Kim Woo-bin’s partner who plans operations and recruits the rest of the team. I really like a good heist movie when it’s done well — The Thieves disappointed me on that front, because no matter how shiny the cast, it wasn’t the classic caper film that I wanted it to be. I hope this one sticks to the basics and gives us a satisfying swindle.
Con Artists hits theaters in December.

Lee Hyun Woo is 1993, so he's 21 or 22 Korean age.

Wait. Do they actually send crates filled with cash via *ship* in Korea? Because that just sounds like a situation ripe for trouble.
Seems like a fun movie - hopefully it will be available for us to see in America at some point.

I also love a good heist flick(Ocean's 11 forevah!), but Kim Woo-bin could be in a movie about cupcakes and cake pops and I'll still want to see it. Hell, if not for him, Heirs would've barely been sufferable.
SN: The third still down, the one of him in the uniform... I mean, the swag is ridiculous and he's just standing there... I can't...

I guess Jo Yoon Hee is the lone woman in this Sausage Fest. lmao
Movies really need to step up their games when it comes to ladies.
Like, JFC, why is it almost always only one female thief/cop/prosecutor/reporter/doctor/assassin? Get it together.

Aw I still remember Lee Hyun-woo as little Cha Dol in Return of Iljimae. He had a very natural screen presence. With Kim Woo-bin in this too it's a must watch. I love a caper when it's done well, so fingers crossed!
