Watch: Lee Sun Gyun, Jo Jung Suk, And Yoo Jae Myung Star In New Trailer And Posters For "The Land Of Happiness"

Aug 7, 2024

Upcoming film “The Land of Happiness” has shared a new trailer and posters!

“The Land of Happiness” tells the story of lawyer Jung In Hoo (Jo Jung Suk), who struggles to save Park Tae Joo (Lee Sun Gyun) from a life-or-death situation in the trial of the 1979 presidential assassination case. The movie is based on the real-life incident in which former President Park Chung Hee was assassinated on October 26, 1979.

The first poster captures the three main characters entangled in the presidential assassination trial: lawyer Jung In Hoo; Park Tae Joo, the chief secretary to the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency; and Jeon Sang Doo (Yoo Jae Myung), the head of the Joint Investigation Department.

Jung In Hoo’s determined yet earnest expression reflects his sincere desire to save Park Tae Joo, as does the caption, “In the 1979 presidential assassination trial, there is someone who must be saved.” Despite being subjected to an unfair trial because he is a soldier, Park Tae Joo maintains his integrity and steadfastly upholds his beliefs, but when he meets Park In Hoo, he gradually reveals his true feelings. The poster hints at a change in Park Tae Joo’s emotions as he sees Jung In Hoo’s sincere efforts to defend him. Meanwhile, Jeon Sang Doo evokes tension with his sharp gaze full of ambition for greater power.

The second poster, presented in black and white, features Jung In Hoo delivering a passionate argument in court and Park Tae Joo standing tall with a determined expression. Jung In Hoo demands a fair trial from a judge influenced by secret orders from powerful figures, while Park Tae Joo stands resolute in his beliefs despite the unfair trial.

The accompanying trailer opens with a voice-over revealing Park Tae Joo’s state of mind before the assassination. The trailer then depicts the assassination, Jung In Hoo’s initial distrust of Park Tae Joo, and the subsequent unfair trial.

Jung In Hoo initially takes on Park Tae Joo’s defense for his reputation and personal gain. However, he experiences a gradual change of heart as he witnesses the unfair trial led by Commander Jeon Sang Doo and Park Tae Joo’s refusal to give advantageous testimony to maintain his military integrity and loyalty to his superior. The trailer also shows glimpses of Park Tae Joo’s wife Ok Jung Ae (Kang Mal Geum) and Jung In Hoo’s girlfriend Jo Soon Jung (Jin Ki Joo).

Finally, the trailer ends with a scene in which Park Tae Joo acknowledges Jung In Hoo by telling him, “You are a true lawyer.”
