Poster Depicts Strained Bond Against a Vibrant Backdrop
On December 14, 2024, the production team revealed a poster showcasing the fractured relationship between Ham Moo Ok (played by Kim Yun Seok) and his son, Ham Moon Seok (played by Lee Seung Gi). Set in Lotte World amusement park, the image cleverly contrasts the lively setting with the characters’ stoic expressions as they sit apart, silently highlighting their emotional distance.
The captions on the poster, “Grown distance in a father-son relationship” and “Can we get closer again?” mimic the tone of a dating reality show, adding a lighthearted twist to the emotionally charged narrative.
The movie tells the story of Ham Moo Ok, the owner of Pyungmanok, a well-loved dumpling restaurant. His quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he learns of the existence of two grandchildren he never knew about. This discovery is made all the more surprising by his son’s decision to become a monk years ago, leading Moo Ok to believe their family line had ended.
The film explores their journey of reconciliation, humor, and rediscovery of family bonds.
