I mentioned its been a lackluster summer 2023 season for domestic K-movies to date but this upcoming one premiering during the family holiday Chuseok season seems primed to lure in audiences.

So the opening night red carpet at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival was but one of the many moments for film stars the world over to make an impression.
