Actor Kim Soo-hyun will star in the movie “Real.” A superstar in Asia after his performance in “My Love from the Star,” Kim Su-hyun chose “Producer” for his next TV drama and “Real” for his movie comeback. “Real” is an action noir thriller about dandy underworld ace Jang Tae-young and a reportage writer who seeks him out.

Kim Soo-hyun stars as the ruthless Jang Tae-young who will stop at nothing for his success and who dreams of building a casino hotel and controlling the city. “Real” is Kim’s first movie in two years after “Secretly, Greatly” drew 7 million admissions in 2013. It will be his first time in a tough, dark role. 

“Real” is directed by Lee Jeong-seop who planned and wrote “City of Violence” (working title), “The God of Baths,” “Romantic Island,” “Rainbow Eyes,” “The Perfect Couple,” and “Lost in Love.” Aiming for release next year, “Real” will start filming this October.
