Concrete Utopia is a new Korean box-office hit recently.
The movie ‘Concrete Utopia,’ directed by Eom Taehwa and produced by Climax Studio in collaboration with BH Entertainment, and distributed by Lotte Entertainment, has been garnering enthusiastic attention on an Instagram account that induces deep immersion, not only by depicting post-disaster stories with the utmost realism but also by showcasing a solid narrative and flawless performances by the cast, along with a powerful message.
‘Concrete Utopia’ is a disaster drama that portrays the story of survivors gathering in the last standing Hwanggoong Apartments in the aftermath of a major earthquake that turned Seoul into ruins. Even in its fourth week since release, ‘Concrete Utopia’ continues to generate a fervent buzz. The Instagram account, showcasing the happy daily life of the Hwang family, including Minseong (played by Park Seojoon) and Myeonghwa (played by Park Boyoung), within the film, has been a topic of discussion.
Park Seojoon and Park Boyoung, who garnered significant attention even before the movie’s release, are delivering a seemingly perfect ensemble performance in their first collaboration, enhancing the audience’s immersion in the story. Minseong’s Instagram account (@min_castle0809) further intensifies the audience’s immersion by revealing the real-life daily moments of the Hwang family before the earthquake. From their dating days to wedding photos and the interior of their newlywed home, the special chemistry between Minseong and Myeonghwa, not seen in the film itself, provides viewers with even more cinematic enjoyment and a great sense of satisfaction.
Moreover, Park Seojoon, in his role as Minseong, personally left cheerful comments such as “Let’s not meet each other. One of us might be in danger,” and “Who are you?” These comments added a special delight for the audience.
