Jang Jin’s comedy Quiz King releases teaser

by javabeans

Director Jang Jin (Good Morning President) has a new movie coming out with a robust cast, called Quiz King. The teaser was released this week and, in conjunction with the high-concept comedy plot, it sounds like a lot of fun.

At the center of the film is a television quiz show that has never had a winner, whose jackpot is now 13.3 billion won (approximately $11 million). The story unfolds around fifteen feckless contestants who find out the final answer to the quiz — but only the final answer — and compete for the win.

The comedy stars Han Jae-seok (Merchant Kim Man-deok), Kim Su-ro (God of Study), Ryu Seung-ryong (Personal Taste), Jang Young-nam (I Am Legend), and Shim Eun-kyung (Bad Guy) — a solid comic lineup, in other words.

And that’s not all; the film also features special appearances by Jung Jae-young (Castaway on the Moon), Im Won-hee (Comrades), and Shin Ha-kyun (Thirst).

In the trailer below, the cast is sitting in the police station when Im Won-hee’s character provides all the right answers, freaking the others out until the punchline that it’s a rerun. Somehow the group finds out the last answer in the quiz and decides to a mad scheme to win the show. Commence comic antics!

Quiz King is set for a September 16 release.

Cannot wait till this comes out with subs. Looks really funny plus Shim Eun Kyung is in it whom I absolutely adore. Loved her in The Legend and she's pretty funny in Bad Guy.

@mel,
I think you mean 재방송 (제 방송 is what I heard). But you may be right. I assumed that from the context, but that is probably my assumption. I'll revise.

@mel,
that's what i thought too when i heard.
on another site it reads 재방송(rerun), which makes more sense.
so i think it was a typo. and it's $11 million.

It really is a great cast--I'm now a Ryu Seung-ryong fan (thanks to Personal Taste) and have always enjoyed Shim Eun-Kyung's work. She definitely makes me feel like an underachiever--she's so young and yet look at all the awesome projects she's done!
