Stars SUL Kyung-gu and CHO Jin-woong have teamed up for the first time in the high-concept comedy-drama Man of Men, which Showbox has positioned as its entry into the fall box office season. SUL plays Jang-su, a top lawyer who was known for taking any job for money, regardless of the moral cost. His ways eventually catch up with him and he finds himself diagnosed with a terminal illness, which forces him to reevaluate how he has led his life up until that point. In comes Young-ki (CHO Jin-woong), a low-level thug who is assigned to Jang-su as a caretaker, as a form of community service. Despite appearing like an odd couple, this arrangement suits Jang-su, who finds Young-ki’s unrefined mannerisms refreshing. It also gives Jang-su an opportunity to complete his bucket list, as he offers Young-ki part of his life insurance money if he agrees to help him. Owing to his own financial worries, Young-ki is quick to accept the offer.

Man of Men will mark the debut of writer and director Yong-su and will look to mirror the success of Showbox’s similarly timed high-concept comedy LUCK-KEY, which was released in 2016 and also brought two men from opposite side of the tracks together in an unexpected way. That film welcomed close to seven million viewers.
